How to Take Perspective Photos of the Bolivian Salt Flats

Finally, we made it to the world’s largest salt flats- the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia! Our excitement could not be contained as we watched the sun rise over the vast plain of salt that is almost as large as some small European countries.

With only a few mountains off in the distance, and an endless field of salt at our feet, we finally understood why the Uyuni salt flats draws in so many visitors each year.

It is unlike any place we’ve ever visited.

Armed with our two Roaming Gnomes, a toy llama, and a bottle of Pisco, we were quite excited to get out into the middle of it all and take some hilarious forced perspective photos.

After starting, we quickly noticed an issue. Our photos were awful!

The clock was ticking on our time in the salt flats, and we had to figure out a solution fast.

Oh, Copenhagen. What’s not to love!

This city is one of our favorites in Europe, and is the kind of place we could exist in for as much time as we are able just because we want to.

But, when visiting, broader Denmark (and Sweden!) calls, and if you’re like us and stop in Copenhagen before connecting onward, you may be thinking about a day trip or two to see more of the region.

We took three day trips from Copenhagen during our first visit, and wanted to share more about each in this one!

Tromso, Norway, is such an interesting city.

Nestled in the Arctic Circle, you have stunning fjords, beautiful mountains, aurora opportunities in the winter, and so, so much more. To say there is a lot to do is an understatement, and this is especially true in the winter months.

The challenge is finding the time to pack it all in, and after five days in Tromso, we honestly think we hit the day tours, experiences, and aurora chases a little too hard- so much so that we had very little free time to enjoy the city, nearby highlights, and even sleep!

So in this one, we want to talk a bit more about the logistics of taking day tours in Tromso in the winter. It may seem weird to talk about booking logic with regard to tours, but when you are taking late-night aurora tours that are heavily weather (and solar activity) dependent, there are some additional layers to consider!

The Seychelles are full of world class beaches, many of them easily accessible via roads.

But there are also numerous beaches in the Seychelles that are a little more difficult to reach, ones that you can only get to on your own two feet or via a boat.

We love the challenge that comes with trying to get to this type of beach, and during our recent trip to the Seychelles we did a few short hikes to see some of them- including Anse Major on Mahe island.

Anse Major is considered one of the most beautiful secluded beaches on Mahe, so we of course had to check it out.

But one thing we did not know was how intense that journey would be, and that gives us reason to pause in recommending this hike to others.
