If you’re just starting to fill your passport and would like to see the world through the eyes of someone like Michelle Daly DeSchryver, you can start with destinations like those below to get your feet wet (or sandy):
• Cenotes of Mexico : The cenotes of Mexico are natural sinkholes or pits, often located in lush jungles sporting crystal blue waters. These beautiful bodies of water have attracted travelers and locals since the time of the Mayans, when some were used for Mayan sacrificial offerings.Today, popular Mexican cenotes like the Ik Kil Cenote in Yucatan are hotspots for adventurous travelers seeking a cool dip and striking photos with a taste of rich history.
• Kolmanskop, Namibia : Kolmanskop, Namibia, is a handful of miles away from the Laderitz port. Once a diamond mining town, Kolmanskop was abandoned in 1956 in favor of richer sources. What’s left is a ghost town in the middle of desert terrain, inhabited only by animals and sightseers. Any photographer who spends a day in Kolmanskop leaves with surreal pictures of desert-filled homes and haunted shots of long-forgotten belongings.
