Editor’s note:
If you follow the Bootsnall Travel Blog closely, you’ll probably remember Rebecca Evens, who recently published “The Reality of Travel,” an insight into what life on the road really looks like, without the Instagram filters. In response to our “congrats, we’ve accepted your article” email, she casually sent over 12 of the most spectacular travel photos we’ve ever recieved. “I have (literally) thousands more if these don’t work,” she wrote. No big deal. Of course, I wrote back immediately to see if she’d share them with us.
Without further ado, Rebecca Evens’ top 15 travel photos from her extensive adventures around the globe. Enjoy!
African morning – Tanzania
While driving across Eastern Africa, we stopped on the side of the road for a break. The morning light made this casual scene spectacular.
Artist’s workshop – Rocinha Favela Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
During a tour of the Rocinha Favela we visited a local artist’s workshop. He beautifully captured the real life inside the favela.

After trekking 3 hours into the Impenetrable Forest, we finally came across the Busingye gorilla family. This little guy played a game of peek-a-boo.

Volcan Fuego – Guatemala
Bengal Tiger – Bandhavgarh National Park, Umaria, India
Bandhavgarh is one of the last places you can see tigers in the wild. This magnificent creature walked straight in front of our Jeep.

Local transportation in the desert of Wadi Rum.
Fisherman’s Wharf – Arica, Chile
A couple of locals wait for the fisherman to return with this morning’s catch.
Land Of The Volcanos – Guatemala

Machu Picchu – Peru
As the morning fog cleared, Machu Picchu revealed itself in all its splendour.
Petra Monastary, Jordan
After hiking nearly 50km through Petra over 2 days, the Monastery was our final stop. It did not disappoint.
