Photo Collection: Flea Markets Around The World

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Sometimes after a long day of exploring a new destination, I like to wander around the local flea markets. It’s the best place to see people interact and learn about local customs and culture. Sometimes I find an amazing place to eat like the fish sandwiches at Eminonu in Istanbul. Other times, I get lost in all the different trinkets laid out in front of me.

Here are a collection of photos from around the world submitted by my fellow wanderlusters. Enjoy!

Doors of Paris

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Contributed by @kirsten_al

It is a bit cliche and has been done before – a photograph collection of doors of Paris. Cliche as it is, no city begs for this treatment like the great City of Light – Paris, France.

Wandering the streets of Paris, it is difficult not to notice the treatment France has given its entryways. In this capitol city, the entry way is an art form. Doors can be painted wood in every color of the rainbow or ornate iron. They can have knockers and doorknobs with detail rivaling the pediments over the entry or they can be simple, stained wood. A whole block may have simple, unadorned doorways – yet grouped together the still life in the glow of the sun’s setting light is still intriguing and beautiful. Then, there is the utter take-your-breath-away beauty of the doors and gates at landmarks like Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris or the Royal Château at Versailles.

Even the smallest house in Paris on Quai Voltaire, overlooking the Seine is remarkable for its brilliant blue door and the immense decorative elements that surround the entry. It is as if they decided to cover every square inch of the facade to make up for its overall lack of size. Sounds just like the French … and I don’t mean that in a bad way!

Submit Your Idea For My Next Photo Collection Theme!

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

Photo by Dan Nahabedian

When I created my first photo collection on A Pair of Panties & Boxers, it surprised me that everyone enjoyed it so much. To be quite honest, I just really wanted to look at pretty pictures because my photographs never came out looking as beautiful as some of my fellow travelers.

So here is a list of photo collections that I’ve put together so far all thanks for every single travel blogger and photographer who participated.

I’m attempting to making a goal to publish one photo collection per month. It’s a lot of work to put together but since everyone enjoys it as much as I do, I figured, why not?

So for my next photo collection, I am taking theme suggestions from all of YOU! Please let me know what kind of collections you’d like to see in the upcoming months by leaving a comment below!

15 Ways To Volunteer In Africa

Guest post by @BorderJumping

Our Journey began in October 2009 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — when we left to visit nearly every country in Africa. At every stop we are meeting with farmers, community organizers, labor activists/leaders, unions, non-governmental organization (NGOs), the funding and donor communities, and local press. Read more

One Week Itinerary For Honduras

It’s two months away but I still have the urge to take out my backpack and starting packing. I’m eager to leave, eager to see and eager to live.  I can’t wait till I get on that plane to Honduras. I booked it for only $280! I’ve got my plate full working 50 hours a week, volunteering, studying for GMAT, researching grad schools and running random errands I don’t have time to do during the work week.

I haven’t had a chance to do much planning for Honduras. Although, experiences have taught me that things never…Read more

7 Essential Items For Light Travelers

Sometimes I forget to eat when I travel. I get full off of life and everything else around me. That is until my stomach starts growling like a dinosaur and I realize that I’m half way up the mountain already.

Afterward, I started packing crackers. It was cheap and it was good enough to hold me down for the time being. Then I realized that granola bars, although slightly more expensive, are much better and healthier alternative.

Jaw-Dropping Sunrises Around The World

Today’s Photo Friday Special is inspired by my previous blog post, Sunsets From Around The World. It was such a big hit that I decided to feature sunrises in this edition. I thought I’d be receiving a lot less sunrise submissions than sunset editions. I mean, unless you’re jet-lagged or an insomniac, who gets up at the crack of down to catch the sun rise?

Traveling Latin America Safely – It’s the little things

Guest blog post by @Brendanvanson.

I remember the first time I left home on my own to travel the Central America I was 20 years old.  Everyone around me warned of the thousands of dangers – real and make believe – that would exist in this strange part of the world of which I knew little about.  I remember clearly my mom telling a friend of hers that I was going to Central America, where “the favourite pastime of people is kidnapping foreigners.”  The truth of the matter is that the media always has a way of accentuating the negative aspects about different parts of the world.

新年快乐! Happy Chinese New Year!

Chinese New Year is on Valentine’s Day this year. It’s different every year because the holiday is based on the lunar calendar. Learning about my own traditions has always been a hands-on, and sometimes painful, experience. When I was 5, I stuck my chopsticks upright in my bowl of white rice and got whacked. I later learned you only do that when making offerings to the deceased. Oops!

Chinese New Year celebrations began with the legend of a wild beast called Nian. “Nian” in Chinese means year. Read more

Hangzhou, China: A Stunning Sunset On The West Lake

The travel bug bit somewhere between Wuzhen and Suzhou. We returned from Suzhou Saturday night. But by Sunday morning, JC and I already had our bags packed and a one-way ticket in our hand. We took the next departing train fr0m Shanghai to Hangzhou. It was an hour and a half of smooth sailing.

The first thing we did was go island hopping. In Xihu (West Lake), the most famous lake in Hangzhou, there are three smaller man-made islands. Nearby are three small pagodas erected from the water. Read more

Things I Can’t Stand When Traveling

I use to think that I was the most level-minded person on the face of this earth. I always heard two sides of the story before passing judgment and I’ve been told countless times before that I’m an extremely understanding person. I use to think I’d make the world’s coolest girlfriend. That was before I got  a boyfriend and that was before I started traveling.

I guess certain things never use to bother me because I controlled everything. I planned for everything. I let no surprises hit me with a curve ball. That wasn’t always successful but most of the time it worked. But after I started traveling, I realized that I can’t stand it when…Read more

Make Your Bucket List Less Daunting With A F***-It List

Guest post by @Jetpacker

Bucket lists are cultishly popular right now.  It seems like everyone is making a list full of life goals so lofty they make The Most Interesting Man In The World look like an incompetent jackass.  Conquering fears.  Gaining independence.  Finding enlightenment.  It all sounds so… overwhelming.

I needed something that would make my bucket list seem less daunting and more realistic. Read more

Bangkok, Thailand

From a train ride from Bangkok to the border of Cambodia. It was a 5 hour train ride on wooden benches and cost 50 cents so we were the only foreigners on the train and no one spoke English. Unlike in North America where we'd never give our children to strangers, we were greeted warmly by the people on the train who offered their baby to hold. Although we didn't speak a common language it was one of the most memorable events of my trip.

Cambodia

She was just a cutey. She has a huge smile on her face in every, single picture we have of her.

A couple of the younger boys just thought it was hilarious to use me as their own personal jungle gym. It got quite tiring after a while, and of course everyone wanted to try when they saw these two, so the next thing you know, I had 15-year-olds not much shorter than I trying to hang on me.

This is my boy again. It started pouring rain, and they all wanted to go out and play. In typical SE Asia monsoon season weather, it just POURED down buckets of rain, and they all had a blast.

You obviously can't tell it from this picture, but this little guy was the most surly and mad looking for the first couple hours after we arrived. Once he warmed up to us, he was like he is in this picture. Adorable.

This was the youngest girl, Nita, who was about 2 years old and as you can see, simply beautiful. Everyone was her bigger brother or sister, and they all took care of her and watched over her.

Adam & Megan

Adam and Megan set off on a year-long RTW trip in October 2008, touching down in eleven countries and ninety cities over three continents.

Cambodia

This little guy seems to be deep in thought as he sits in the doorway of Preah Ko.

This photo was taken at Angkor Wat on our 2nd day. We were used to kids approaching us to sell as things by then but this little girl had other things on her mind. She came running up to us pointing at our leftover pineapple and mango in a baggie, saying "food for me?". How could we resist this face?

At our last stop, on the third day of our Angkor Wat experience, we came across this girl and her brother at Lolei. They were obviously used to posing for photos by the tourists and flashed the peace sign to everyone wandering past.

Corina & Jason

Corina & Jason left their jobs, sold their house and said (a temporary) goodbye to their kitties to travel around the world. Never having left the North American continent in her 39 years, Corina decided it was time to spread their collective wings.
