Tripping About 2010
Travels during 2010
Alison Lives in Dhaka Bangladesh
Alison was fortunate to be contracted to a company in Dhaka, Bangladesh where she experience an incredible lifestyle in an amazing country. Her time there took her to many places including the slums, the city and the country. She found many friends there and much to see and photograph. It was a culture shock arriving and she was very sad to leave. An experience that changed her view on the world and life in general.
Christine and Alison in the Solomon Islands
The Solomon Islands is one of the most beautiful, uncomplicated places in the world. Recently I was lucky enough to spend a week in the Solomon Islands. My Best Friend Christine Volp, who is an experienced diver was there to share in the fun. We both have a ball and we treasure the memories of this trip forever.
