Nyle Walton has lead a fascinating life of travel and adventure, that many could only dream of. From hitchhiking around the planet to working in a dream job for the US Government, and basically being paid for being a tourist.
American Samoa is an island that is rarely frequented by travellers, and a destination I found of great interest. This image shows how the harbor of Pago Pago has recovered since the Tsunami.
An image I took back in 1995 of a group of Pakistani truck drivers taking a break. These trucks are basically mobile art galleries, and quite a site to see.
Several years ago I took my first cruise through one of the worlds greatest engineering feats, The Panama Canal. Traveling it’s length via a cruise ship is one of the best ways to experience it.
Prayer Wheels are always something that have interested me when traveling to Buddhist Monasteries. I love to sit and watch the worshippers run their hands along the wheels. Every person will have their very own style.
Every traveler has their own personal horro stories of long distance bus journeys that seem to go on for ever. Liza and I had to endure 47 hours of mind numbing torture in Africa, back in 2001.
An image captured in the mid nineties during our time in Nepal. We were making our way through the Poon Hill region, when we stopped for a bit of a break. This young boy popped his head out the window for a look.
The Pasport is a document that I have become very attached to over the years, but how did it evolve. What is the history behind this little booklet that we all carry and where is it headed.
An image captured at the Erdene Zuu Monastery, that I captured during our trans Mongolian train journey back in 2007. The Monastery is once again a place of worship after the fall of the communist regime.
Whilst making my way through Peru and up the West coast of South America. The bus I was travelling on came to a halt behind a long line of other vehicles, and I mean a long line (at least a mile). This truck was the cause.
Bolivia’s North Yungas Road is one of the most dangerous roads in the world. It is often referred to as, ‘The Road of Death’ or ‘The World’s Most Dangerous Road’. I first encountered the drama and mystique of this road in 1992.
Any visit to Australia is not complete until you make a trip to Kakadu National Park. Jim Jim Falls are one of the parks many attractions. The sheer size of the park is hard to comprehend. (it’s half the size of Switzerland!)
As a traveler, arriving in a new destination can often be quite stressful, but when you return for the second or third time. You’re stress levels are always a great deal lower, as your in familiar surroundings.
Whilst trekking around outskirts of the villages of Andringitra national park, I ran into this young fella carrying fire wood back to his home. After the drama’s of the last couple of days, a smile like this put life back into perspective.
A little of the many well worn tourist trails is the soulful capital of Madagascar. Antananarivo, it’s a mouthful, but I loved the place.
A delightful and inviting image of a perfect sunset on the Island of Ko Tao in Thailand. The image was taken back in 1997, and no doubt it’s allot busier these days.
The opening of the first McDonald’s store in Russia, was a another defining moment in the tearing down of the iron curtain. As a traveler in Russia in the early nineties, I witnessed their fascination with the west first hand.
