Melissa is a Canadian with a passion for long term travel - but you don't need to be into six-month sojourns to love her content.

Stuck in Customs

Trey Radcliff's blog places a heavy focus on travel photography, and describes his adventures as a 'daily photo adventure'. While his snaps are amazing, so too are his photography tips. Indeed, his HDR tutorial is arguably one of the most comprehensive on the net.
