Johan Lolos
Johan's blog feels more like a photography album than a travel blog. To put it in his own words: "It's a travel diary with photography as its main medium". This blog inspires us to explore and never return with mesmerizing landscapes and all the right photo angles. His travels focus mainly on the outdoors, wildlife & the wilderness. For Johan, no mountain is high enough, no river too wide. On top of that, he's a published author and has a Ted talk on his record. For inspiration closer to home, check out his ebook 'Peaks of Europe'.
