A dedicated nomad of the world, I have been travelling since 2001. Now using photography as a means to show others how I see this amazing planet, I have more reason than ever to continue the endless journey...

During my travels throughout the world, I would rank New Zealand as my favorite place on Earth, the sights and wonders of the South Island have to be seen to be believed. Hidden beaches, grand mountain vistas, spectacular lakes and rustic buildings all add to the charm of this paradise.

These images I captured during my year spent travelling in this amazing country try to encapsulate the beautiful nature I experienced.
