• Every scene is new and fresh and fascinating when you travel just like you were excited for every new experience as a kid. Being in front of new things in a new environment shifts perspective so curiosity and creativity flow more easily.
• Composing a frame while discussing it alongside other photographers gets you unstuck and gives you new ideas. Share your own knowledge with other guests and ask questions of any other guests. Creative growth is best as a shared experience, not as a one way lecture.
• Learning through practice is 126%* more effective and enjoyable than sitting at a computer watching videos of somebody explaining something.
• Working with local operators in each country is incredibly important to me. The tour operators aren't just there to support the ride. Local "fixers" are essential for everything from getting access to unique locations to providing subjects and models for our photos, to serving as translators. They are ambassadors to initiate us to their part of the world. These people are often a highlight of the locations we visit just as much as the rides and photography are.

A bicycle vacation organized for photography enthusiasts. We ride for escape and adventure; not for stats or bragging rights. Tours provide a balance of rich photo locations and moderate to challenging rides. You should train before coming on a trip, but you won't need so much recovery time that you can't enjoy the photo stops. The goal is to have an active vacation and stimulate your creative energy with a group of people who share the same passions.
