When I first traveled to places<\/span> I\u2019d likely never revisit\u2014the world is a big place\u2014I was frustrated and even sad to leave beautiful and interesting sites behind. Sure, I\u2019d bring back photographs galore, souvenirs and other mementos, and books, but they weren\u2019t enough. They wouldn't keep my memories alive.<\/p>\n

Writing stories about these places<\/span>\u00a0would let me keep them forever. And since everything is better when it\u2019s shared, I am sharing them in an uninterrupted reading format to help you drift to those places and engage in the experiences. Then let photographs visually take you there; they never fail to take me back.<\/p>\n

Most articles were first published at Buckettripper.com<\/a>, a multiple-award-winning digital travel magazine - no longer collaborative. Other original travel articles appeared in my travel column in the West Vancouver Beacon.<\/a> Recent ones are original to Writing is Living.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
