My Top 20 Travel Photos of 2021

In the vein of “best of 2021” here at Travel Update, I thought I’d put together a post of my favorite photos from my travels. I’m slowly practicing photography, but it has fallen down the priority list. These are a mix picked for a variety of criteria, including personal sentimental value of a particular day, place, or event.

Ten isn’t enough. Double that is probably adequate. It was still a lot to go through and difficult to decide at times. Alaska definitely dominates. Hope you enjoy!

  1. And I generally took the best photos when I was traveling by car in Denver. I believe that it is better to rent a car when you need to see and explore something. So you can drive a new car every time according to your mood. I then rented a car with a panoramic roof by pre-booking on this website.

Scotland. I Need to Revisit Scotland.

My one visit to Scotland was all the way back in 2008. We covered 70+ miles of hiking in just three days, followed by a day in Inverness before finishing off the trip in Edinburgh. It was a great experience for an almost-19-year-old. And now I want to go back. It's hard to believe that it has been nearly 17 years since that trip.

My 200th SFO Flight – An Air Travel Milestone

One of the easy metrics provided by OpenFlights is how many times you've either flown into or out of an airport. With that in mind, last week I hit my 200th flight into or out of San Francisco International Airport. My 200th SFO flight wasn't just any ol' flight, either. It was a bit more special.

Aisle Versus Window Seat: Why I’ve Changed Teams

Had you asked me a few years ago, I would have said that I am staunchly #TeamWindowSeat. It was the clear winner. But a few factors over the past several years have slowly transitioned me to an aisle seat man. Here is how the aisle versus window seat debate has broken down, at least in my thinking over my travels.

Tallying Up 2023 & 2024 Travel: Closing in on Visiting All 50 States

I like to take stock of each year's travel as we pass from one year into the next. There's usually a clear favorite trip, and there's certainly a clear favorite each year. This is the qualitative side, and arguably the most important. But as a points and miles nerd with a numbers brain, I also like to tally up travel quantitatively. Here's how the numbers stack up for 2023 and 2024.
