I had one of my Instagram followers say, “Wow! Your life is so perfect! How lucky you are to travel!” and to be frank, this gave me pause. Don’t get me wrong, I thank my lucky stars on the daily for my opportunity and privilege. But, my life is not perfect and neither is travel!
So, to give you a glimpse of travel from all sides, I’m starting a new series, called Outtakes, for the pictures, stories and scenes that don’t make it into my normal postings!
Take 1 // Scarfing down pain au chocolat while waiting in a 2-hour line for the Louvre.
Take 2 // Going through security at the airport with a full water bottle. I’ve had to drink it really quickly on more than one occasion!
Take 3 // Sitting on the floor of the train for two hours because it’s too full. #glamorous
Take 4 // Eating an indecent amount of cheese over Christmas.
Take 5 // Drinking so much mulled wine there isn’t enough money for dinner.
Take 6 // Thinking a tiny mountain town will have any food for sale after six in the evening…therefore having leftover candy for dinner.
Take 7 // Booking one of the best Christmas destinations in Europe for October instead.
Take 8 // Thinking I can actually hold my hands still enough in freezing weather for a clear night picture.
Take 9 // Killing time on the train by taking a variety of selfies.
Take 10 // Snapping many photos of random, strange-to-me-things I see all over Prague.
Take 11 // Doing this on the Berlin Wall…awkward.
Take 12 // Taking many pictures of my feet…just because.
Take 13 // Becoming more obsessed with gnomes in Cologne than anyone knew.
Take 14 // Trying to be a photographer from a moving vehicle. It never works out but I always manage to convince myself that this time I will snap a perfect picture of the glorious landscape!

QUESTION:
Tell me…what are some of your outtakes from travel/life?
