Footsteps in the Alpujarras
Hey there! Just a Husky loving wannabe photographer enjoying life here in beautiful Andalucia at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains! I'm all about adventure and my passions include capturing shots of my dogs, discovering the wonders of wildlife & birds, exploring breathtaking mountains, admiring the beauty of wild orchids, and geeking out over weather and all things nature.
I've been lucky enough to go on some amazing adventures with my husband! We've had the chance to explore the Patagonian Icecap six times, and back in 2013, were thrilled to be invited on a Berghaus-sponsored trip to ski a volcano in Kamchatka.
There's an immense and vibrant world waiting to be discovered and I hope to be enjoying it for many years to come. Stay tuned for the adventures, big or small, that lie ahead!
