My wife, Inga and I were fortunate to do a road trip from Austin, Texas to NYC back in June/July 2009. We capped off the trip with nine beautiful, sunny summer days in the Big Apple.

Cuba is hands-down the most fascinating place I’ve ever visited – photographically speaking, too. On my first day in Havana my camera might as well have been surgically attached to my hands; I just couldn’t stop snapping. Oh, look at that cool vintage car! Click. Ooh, an abandoned theatre! Click, click, click.

Arriving into Bariloche, Argentina, you could be mistaken for thinking that you’re flying into a European alpine destination. The region’s landscape is very similar to the EU, dense with cypress trees, mountains, lakes and quaint villages. I felt I had been transported from South America direct to Western Europe!

With so many amazing spots within a short distance of Perth's city, visitors and locals alike should have no trouble finding and snapping something special to upload. Check out Ella's top 5 most Instagrammable locations in and around Perth.

Decide when it is the right time to leave and how to do it in professional manner – Last thing you want to do is leave abruptly and burn your bridges. Decide what your budget is and your must-do's – Research and prioritise where you want to go and how much it will all cost.

What often happens when I travel is that I endeavour to do and see as much as possible, in every available hour. Sometimes, this can leave me feeling a little burnt out, especially if I am moving from place to place on a tight schedule.

Living in Melbourne, food markets to me are a dime a dozen. Well… that was until I recently met London’s Borough Market on a two-week Euro holiday. I was smitten! I’m a little bit embarrassed that a few fresh juice cups, sizzling vats of chorizo-filled paella and the sight of a gazillion strawberry punnets made me so deliriously love-struck.

When planning my travel to Cambodia, I wasn’t sure about including the coastal town of Kep. But my FOMO got the better of me and I decided to spend two nights there. I’m so glad I did.

I’m your average modern day traveller. In other words, I live by the motto ‘photo or it didn’t happen’.  I upload my best shots to Instagram, I own a selfie stick (please reserve any judgement until you’ve travelled solo) and I always research my next destination on Google Images.
