Inga's Adventures

I’m a free-lance travel writer and photographer who loves nothing more than getting out there and experiencing the world, no matter if it’s a destination close to home, a road trip, or a journey to far-flung lands. The thrill is the journey more often than the destination.  Join me as I explore new terrain and ferret out experiences that expand our universe and open new horizons.

Chilkoot Trail-Alaska to BC

I’m a nature lover so when my husband, Steve, and I are tied to our home base in Sonoma County, California we get out whenever we can to hike, backpack, ski, mountain bike, paddle and enjoy the outdoors. We explore our nearby wine tasting areas of Sonoma & Napa counties, enjoy the cultural amenities of San Francisco, appreciate the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe, and take pleasure in the company of good friends and family.

Favorite long-distance destinations usually center around the Pacific Rim, or the so-called Ring of Fire (named for the string of volcanoes that ring the area). The West Coast of the U.S., British Columbia, Alaska and the Yukon, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Central and South American and the tropical islands of the Pacific all lure us with their diverse topography, potential for adventure, striking gastronomic flavors and exotic cultures.

Wine Tasting in Napa

I’ve had the good fortune to publish a number of articles and photographs in print as well as on-line outlets over the past few years. I am a founding writer of Striped Pot Travel Magazine. I have regular on-line columns as the Sonoma Wine Travel Examiner, Sierras Travel Examiner and Asia Travel Examiner on Examiner.com and I contribute regularly toYahoo. Steve and I both hold press credentials as active members of Bay Area Travel Writers, a professional organization based in San Francisco, he as a travel photographer and I as a travel writer.

Update: July 2011
I haven’t been posting as much because I’ve been busy writing for other sites, but as I prepare to embark on a months-long international journey I’ll be posting more often. While many of my posts have been actual articles, I’ll be transitioning to a more blog-y style. Stay tuned.
