About Me

michaelapotter
Two things that I am known for the most amongst my friends, family and peers are my love for travel and photography. The two go hand-in-hand. In the past 15 years I have traveled to six continents and over 30 countries, documenting each journey through the lens of my camera. Experiencing new cultures and placing myself outside of my comfort zone pushes me in new directions. And I feel a responsibility to learn more about my place in the world and how that affects others outside my immediate circle. Not everyone gets to experience that, so through my photography and artwork I try to bring that to others and hopefully open up their minds to the world we live in. http://www.wanderlustproductions.com

Briefcase to Backpack: SE Asia
Producer: michaelapotter
Thailand and Laos offered us the opportunity to throw ourselves into completely different cultures. In addition to exploring the temples of Bangkok and the beautiful beaches in the south, we also visited areas of Thailand severely affected by the tsunami and stayed with a local family in a remote Muslim village. And in Laos we had the opportunity to stay in a Hmong village during a hilltribe trek.

New Zealand is one big playground, making it an adventurous destination. For our short time, we focused on the north part of the South Island. Beginning in Christchurch, we headed north to Kaikoura for beautiful hiking, Renwick for wine tasting, and the Queen Charlotte Sound for more trekking; around to Nelson and Abel Tasman National Park for kayaking; and down the West Coast and over Arthur's Pass and the Southern Alps for a gorgeous drive.

Briefcase to Backpack: Australia

Our first destination was Australia. It’s a big country with a lot of fascinating places to see, but with a three week time frame, not a lot of time to see it all. Sydney was our first stop before making our way up the East Coast, hitting Hervey Bay, Fraser Island, the Whit Sundays and Great Barrier Reef. From the beautiful blue seas, we headed inland to the magical red desert of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Our final destination was Melbourne, where we took in the Melbourne Cup, sipped the wines of the Yarra Valley, and drove the Great Ocean Road.
