  • A little lens flare action on the Düssel.
  • Hanging by the sea in Heraklion.
  • I’ve gotten to work on a number of projects throughout my life that, to me, defy logic and likelihood. But this one just might take the cake. Thanks to @agrecofarms, @kathrin_ax, and the rest of the @cretapalacegrecotel staff for making this shoot for @rafael_b and me a breeze. Everyone else, stay tuned to @trivago Magazine for an exclusive look at @grecotel’s ‘Be A Farmer For A Day’ experience. 📸 @rafael_b
  • Not the most challenging hike, but certainly some of the most impressive views I’ve seen in a long while. This sparingly-marked trail is in Archanes just south of Heraklion. One recording of this hike called it “Zeus’ Grave.” The mythology does say he was born here, but still trying to confirm if this is really where he was supposedly buried. I ultimately assume not, because he must have a massive grave and I didn’t see any lighting bolt tombstones.
  • Lit a candle for Yiayia (acquired by way of @melanielbaur) in this tiny chapel at the Fortezza in Rethymno, Crete. She knew I traveled a lot and always told me, “You should go to Greece. You need to go to Greece.” Wish I could chat with her about this trip as she squeezed my forearm, like she did whenever she told me about her travels back to the motherland.
  • Brooklyn in motion.
  • Last weekend I had the pleasure of hearing Jumana’s story for an editorial and video project coming to @trivago Magazine. Jumana is an Iraqi refugee in Vienna by way of Syria working at the @magdas_hotel along with refugees of 14 other nationalities, speaking 23 languages among them. Good luck finding someone as sweet, funny, kind-hearted, open, and quietly brave as her. Anyone feeling down about the state of the world need only to spend an afternoon with Jumana. I look forward to sharing more of her story and I’m thankful to her for taking the time to tell me about her journey, her dreams, and why not to trust pizza from the train station. Stay tuned.
  • The highest point in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, signified by this cross and a bunch of neatly stacked rocks.
