Alison M. Jones: Travel & Itinerary HighlightsAll images by and © copyright Alison M. Jones
Lago Azul, Patagonia THERE is not enough time or space to detail all the amazing travel I’ve experienced, but here are ideas I recommend, especially for their photographic value:
My photography has involved extensive traveling for over 30 years, thus I have unusual knowledge of Africa, Latin America, Europe, USA and the Caribbean. I seem to have followed family footsteps. My father’s cousin married a German baron and built a castle in the Namibian desert in 1907. Aunt Bea and Uncle David bought a 15th-century French cottage in the 40’s and returned after the war to paint in the Massif Central. My godfather was Yugoslavian, spooked around the world and settled in Croatia. My sister designed her Caribbean home after traditional sugarcane plantations. I’ve visited and know these places well. 
Mt. Kilimanjaro My focus on endangered ecosystems, wildlife and communities has led me on twenty tours of Africa and assignments in Latin America. It has meant living in France, England, Portugal, California and New England and gotten me to drive solo across much of the US and sail New England and Caribbean coasts. And I continue to wander off the beaten track! I am often asked “How can I travel behind the scenes as you do?” Below are some links explaining how I set up these trips and used travel consultants I know well and have traveled with. These trips fulfilled my documentary interest in how we each connect with each other, the past, and to the planet’s future. Travel’s greatest rewards for me have been new awareness and new friends.
