Been around the world......

On my website, there's a "bio" page that says that "I travel....a lot!".  A more true statement could not be made.  A couple of days ago, I counted up the number of nights I've been away from home this year to date, and it came to 137!  My "normal" is living out of a suitcase.  I think the longest transit from one destination to another is 66 hours (!), and anything under 24 hours is a short trip.  How about that?

Right now, I'm in my hotel room in Singapore, having just arrived from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  Already away from home almost 2 weeks, another 4 to go.  Usually, I'm not on a photo assignment, but as a traveling partner with my husband.  It is an indescribable experience to share lives with people all over the world, and to encourage them in what they're doing.

You'd think I'd have my camera around my neck all the time, but I find it often stays in my hotel room instead!  But here's a couple from this month.

We started the month in Uyo, Nigeria and closing it out in South East Asia.  And in between those, I had two photo jobs in Kona!  Just last night in Kuala Lumpur, we visited the Petronas Towers, among the tallest buildings in the world.  Both of these, taken with my iPhone (merging 3 photos in the second one)....
