Travel
Travel addict, iPhone photographer, Scandinavian connoisseur. Welcome to my travel life.
“Bags and Boots”
This moniker was mostly inspired by living out of a travel suitcase, which taught me how little in life you actually need. Luxury isn’t a pile of nice things you haul around, it’s the experience of new people and exploring new places.
I started taking photos many years ago to document my travels for myself and to keep my parents and friends informed on what I was doing.
If anything, I hope what you can find on here is a good time and inspiration to explore outside of the box as much as possible – and to not only travel to countries, but to connect with them.
“I travel not to go anywhere but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The greatest affair is to move”
— Robert Louis Stevenson
