What is your best travel selfie?

This one win baby!! It was taken Ujung Bira South Sulawesi - Indonesia. The ocean was beautiful, the dive sites are awesome. I traveled with my girl and she loved it we will coming back on May :) 

I took this one last week in Delphi with a local cat. Always wanted to take a selfie in Delphi.

My favorite travel selfie was this past May when I was on a Wine Country Cruise with Princess Cruises.  I love to go to the top deck all by myself and just soak up all the grand views of nature.  It is my happy place.

I haven't been to as many crazy exotic locations as some of the other Trippy members, but I think any selfie with a giraffe in the background is worth sharing! (Taken during a recent trip to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.)  

I'm one of those people who hate to get their photo taken. This is probably why I love photography because then I get to hide on the other side of the lens. So my selfies are shadow shots. This is one of the first. I was driving back to Valencia from Montanejos and a herd of goats had just crossed the road (which is why I was in the middle of the street with my camera).

I had a lot but this one wins.This selfie was taken last year at Oktoberfest in Munich with my buddy Louis. We grew up next door to each other stirring up all kinds of mischief in our neighborhood as kids so this selfie might be the pinnacle of our epic partying. If someone asked me to describe the Oktoberfest experience with 1 photo this would be it.

Beers, crowd, out of focus, random German girl, Bavarian scenery painted on walls of the tent. Just a quick look a this selfie brings back so many memories of sitting, standing and dancing at the same table for 14 hours. Yes, 14 hours we stayed at the same table meeting people from every corner of the world, learning how all the Oktoberfest dances and songs go and how to properly hold a maß. It may sound unpleasant to stay in one place for so long, but honestly it's was one of the best experiences I've had. I can still smell the beer and sauerkraut aromas in the air. Prost!

Definitely the time I interupted a lions breakfast in Tanzania.  

Selfie with the Chocolate Hills, Bohol

My favorite was probably at the top of Lion's Head, overlooking Cape Town, South Africa and Robben Island (Nelson Mandel's island prison). More pics and thoughts from this trip are in my blog post from the trip: http://worldventureproject.com/south-africa/

I don't take selfies too often but when I do, I put my camera on a tripod.  Here are 2 photos I took while hiking through Wire Pass in southern Utah.

Me in in Segovia at the Alcazar. Not sure if this is a selfie or more of an Midieval photobomb?

For sure it's my profile pic in Machu Picchu. I don't do many but had to show my mom. :)

My least selfie-looking selfie was taken at First Beach, Washington, a few hours before I ran off the road in a snowstorm.



Borobudur in Indonesia!

Met this adorable little pup named Pita on a beach in Santorini. He liked my shoelaces! I loved this photo so much it was my profile photo for quite a while on Facebook. ^_^

I'm usually taking photos of scenery not selfies so this is one of the only ones I have but I love it because I remember the heat of standing on the cliffs of Tulum Mexico and wanted to capture the gorgeous blues of the skies and the water!

That time I hung out with Miss America in Las Vegas. As one does, right?

One of the recent - zipline next the old Đurđevića Tara Bridge in Montenegro.



My best selfie was when my boyfriend and I were ice climbing in Vatnajökull National Park Iceland. We had the GoPro set up to take pictures every 30 seconds and we both happened to be in the right place at the right time for this one!

In the surf at Playa del Carmen

At the Musée Picasso in Paris.  I spent a week in Paris a seul and was able to snap a pretty great collection of selfies.

Visited the Comcast Center last month while in Philadelphia.

My husband is not a fan of the selfie, but I implored him to start doing it with me in every city that we travel to. I love the pure joy on our faces and the light on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence.

I was hard-pressed to find many selfies as staying behind the camera is much more within my comfort zone. But, I did find this fun pic which utilizes a postcard feature on my smartphone. I was sitting in Le Saint Séverin in Paris in August 2014, pretty, pretty tired. I took this photo to pay homage in a blog-post to the life-giving powers of un caffé! In January 2014, my daughter, Jacque, and I found ourselves sitting on the upper steps of Temple IV in Tikal National Park in Guatemalaas part of an incredible Sunrise Tour. The memory of that breathtaking view over the jungle and temples of the Central Plaza as the sun rose around us is permanently embedded on our souls! 

On my bike...background Lake Wanaka New Zealand

It's not mine but I vote for this one from the Godfather of the travel selfie, Clark Griswold - circa 1985.  

1. Me - JR Johnson
2. Rene Redzepi - Founder of Noma and all-around creative juggernaut. 
3. Mark Emil Hermansen - anthropologist, Nordic Food Lab, Noma, MAD Symposium
4. Chris Sacca - heavy twitter user (yes, he's probably tweeting in this picture)

I think this one takes the cake for me haha - selfies in Siem Reap
Oh the life of solo travel bloggers haha!

I didn't think I had that many #travelselfies, but now that you mention it, I did manage to dig these up... 

My favorite is what I took in what my friends and I dubbed "the disco temple" in Ayutthaya.

It was the most gorgeous temple that was covered from wall to ceiling in tiles of mirror of all sizes and patterns:

Runner ups...

You can see my friends' and I's reflection in the rearview/side mirrors of this tuk tuk in Bangkok:

And my reflection in wall of shattered mirrors at Glasstress on Murano Island.Can't wait to see others!

I'm not into selfie stick yet. People who are using it have the same pose. So, I take selfies with my ever loyal tripod and camera timer/shutter. :) Don't tell me it's not a selfie. It. Is. :)) 

Here's the proof---from Petra, Jordan. 

This was in 2004, so before "selfie" was even a term --

I set my camera on timer and set up this shot on the side of the Taj Mahal:

Took a snow machine out to Spencer Glacier from Girdwood and found a ridiculously blue ice tunnel.  

Like Tiffany, I'm not one for having my picture taken.  However, on my vague 'round the world' trip, I've been doing a daily picture project of a photo of my feet (it's all marketing branding, you know :p).

This has led to some strange ideas and locations, especially as I'm usually travelling alone so have to try some weird ideas, made all the more awkward by the occasional people wandering past and looking at me strangely.  Amazing what people do in the name of art ... ;)

As an example, this was taken on the Nullarbor Plain - midges not pictured ...

:)

I don't know how he does it!

Hot wife 

boom cobra selfie!!!!!!!!!

December 2010, Just finished an insane hike around Bako National Park (Taman Negara Bako)

At one point during the hike we got swept off our feet by a flash flood, encountered a tarantula, and had to climb up a tree... not all at the same time, although that would have been terrifying!

this is me, on top of a peak to see sunrise over Mount Bromo

I traveled to Oslob  in the Philippines a couple summers back to try and see the elusive whale shark. Sure enough I found her! Glad I had my GoPro with me :) Telescoping "selfie" pole is a must for the solo traveler! 

Oslob was about a 3-4hr drive from Cebu City (airport) on a two lane road, so you'll need to plan your travel accordingly. There aren't many hostels in the area but you can find some awesome B&Bs with a little searching online. I forget the name of the place I stayed but it turned out great- I found it online.. Shared twin bedroom (two beds) with breakfast for about $20/night. This area isn't very built up, so if you're traveling durning peak season (Nov-June) plan ahead because housing may be limited.

If you like thunderstorms, the view from the coast here overlooking the island of Bohol apparently puts on a regular show during the summer months. This was the best view/set up for a lightning storm I've found in the world. I was able to get the shot below with a long shutter and resting my camera on a book. Nikon D3100/ISO400/55mm/f5.6/30s. With a little luck you'd find a similar storm.

I spent just one night in Oslob to see the whale shark then backtracked toward Cebu 1hr and caught a ferry from Argao over to the neighboring island of Bohol to see the Chocolate Hills. (Pro Tip: from Argao there is only one ferry departing per day, and it's in the morning. Make sure you dont miss it- I almost missed it- there's nowhere to stay around Argao. The alternative is to head back to Cebu and catch a longer ferry ride from there.) The Chocolate Hills were great, but not amazing. One of those natural wonders kind of things.

I rented a motor bike for $20 from Alona Beach Area where I was staying (Reggae House $12/nt) and made the 4hr round-trip ride. I think I liked the backcountry, rice field scenery on the ride more than the actual hills. Leave in the morning and spend the day exploring. There's a cool little wildlife eco-zoo thing I'd recommend called Tarsier Conservation Area (fairly humane, $6) ~30 mins from the chocolate hills with one of the only remaining populations of Tarsiers in the world (tinyyy little monkeys). Also, I'd recommend stopping to have a drink and   break up the drive at the Loboc River Resort, which has nice views and chilled out vibes. 

This is a reflection in the train door in Germany.  I am the headless traveler- you can see the lens cap dangling from my camera in the middle of my chest, but the camera has mostly disappeared.

Not sure about best, but probably my funniest selfie

With these lovely reindeers in Lapland, Finland! :-) 

Worldly Nomads on tour in February 2016 :-) 

I never do selfies.....they distort my(beautiful) face.😖
