#119 with Ralph Velasco Photography around the globe.

Great conversation with Ralph talking travel photography, most visited countries, why it's good to put the camera down and enjoy the view sometimes and much more.

More info and all the links right here:

Since 2008 (17+ years) Ralph Velasco has been a full-time travel photographer and international tour

organizer, having created and led over 130 five star-rated international tours in well over 30 countries on

7 continents (plus over 100 domestic tours in the U.S.)

When not traveling, Ralph is currently based in Chicago. However, he's been location-independent for

13+ years and traditionally spends anywhere from 8 - 9 months on the road internationally scouting and

leading his tours.

Ralph has authored several books on travel photography, travel tips and mindful travel, and he just

released his newest book called Bucket Lists for Travel: Places to Go Before Your Knees Give Out!

(https://tinyurl.com/bucketlistsfortravel). Ralph also just combined several of his most recent books into a

3-in-1 book bundle titled The Mindful & Intentional Traveler

(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DKTL61PL) and you can find the individual books at this link

(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3YY3ZY3).

These books include:

1. How to Be a Mindful Traveler Using Your 5+ Senses

(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DFM2P87D)

2. Travel Activity Book for Adults: GRATITUDES Edition

(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D3MKB1TP)

3. 60 AFFIRMATIONS for Travel (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQPLBM6T)

He has a YouTube channel called The Continental DRIFTER® (https://youtube.com/continentaldrifter)

and a related website (https://ContinentalDRIFTER.co) where everything about his business can be

found, including tours, blog posts, his YouTube channel, podcasts, merchandise and more.

Ralph is often asked how people can learn to do what he does and so he created a self-guided online

course called Tour Organizer Training: Get Paid to Travel. In this course made up of 7 Modules and 26

Lessons, he goes step-by-step through what's involved in creating a tour business.

Ralph has spoken all over the world and in the U.S. at the Travel & Adventure Shows and the New York

Times Travel Show, as well as at travel blogger conferences (in Spain, Sweden, Israel, and Ireland) and

the IOETI digital marketing conference in Cairo, Egypt (see more at https://continentaldrifter.co/speaking/)

Finally, he created an iOS app called My Shot Lists for Travel more than 14 years ago, but it's no longer

on the app store and instead he turned the information into a book called 52 Categories of a Shot List:

Create Images that Tell a Story, also available on Amazon (https://tinyurl.com/52categories).
