about

I am in love with traveling. It’s probably an addiction, to be honest.

I am 40ish years old – born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia on the Pacific West Coast of Canada.  I have spent most of my adult life traveling the globe. Between 2005 & 2008 i traveled extensively, visiting over 30 countries and five continents. I got my first point-and-shoot (a small film camera – before the days of digital) at 18 years old, and took it on my first trip to Europe. My first digital camera – a very simple point-and-shoot with limited zoom – accompanied me to South America in 2005.

It was around this time I began collecting my photos and stories online; first writing for a friend’s blog, Flickr, a website on Blogspot and now, I have collected my best of here, on the website that shares my name; Rob Sweatman dot com. I now usually travel with a SLR, a GoPro, and of course the small camera everyone keeps in their pocket.  The smartphone has become an easy way to take a snapshot while traveling.

Travel and photography have become passions of mine, always occupying my thoughts as I dream about my next trip.
