As part of our Frequent Flyer series, we post follow up stories from previously spotlighted travelers. Jeff is one of those rare and interesting people who is able to seamlessly balance being both creative and scientific. He has spent several years traveling the world (from Peru to Bangladesh), and is passionate about photojournalism as well as education. In his previous feature, he shared some of his experiences teaching abroad in Kenya and Thailand, while speaking to his love for taking portraits of the people he meets during his trips. Now he's back to speak to some of his recent experiences traveling throughout Madagascar and the importance of connecting with a country’s people to better experience its culture.

When we last spoke I was literally in the air, midway between Vancouver and Peru, where I was headed to shoot portraits as the recipient of Passion Passport’s fourth The Bucket List Initiative grant.
