I spent three months on a sabbatical exploring eighteen destinations across the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Australia. The journey became a deep dive into travel planning, slow exploration, and mobile travel photography. Almost all photos were taken with my phone, proving that you can capture memorable travel moments without professional equipment. If you’re looking for inspiration, practical ideas, or a real example of how far a well‑planned sabbatical can take you, this collection offers a glimpse into what such a journey can become
