I have always loved travel writing and one of my favorite books on this subject is The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton. I also love islands. I enjoy making images. I intend to post writing and images frequently in the next few months as I resume my Huahine life. I have jokingly called myself “a beach bum with a camera” but I know that beach bum has very negative connotations for just about anyone except my immediate family. I do not consider myself a drifter, a loafer, or an idler. I do consider myself someone who still needs to learn lessons about staying in the present, holding worry at bay, conquering negative thoughts, and understanding how to live simply and without judgement.
I am Sally Cloninger. I reside in Olympia, Washington U.S.A. when I am not traveling.

Beach Bum with a Camera 
Sally, your entries are touching. You bring alive the climate, the ambience, and the everyday richness of breathing deep, loving the water, and enjoying your Huahini friends each time. Good to see Walter relaxed and happy with you. Brilliant escape from gray. Love to you three islanders. Aue Aue, Aloha, and Cheers. xxxx Sandie
Following the rules. Looking forward to great stories.
