The Best Travel Photos from 2011!

2011 has been a blast. I’ve enjoyed this year more than anything else. I have to admit, my photography skills are not the best around the internet. Yes, I know. I don’t need to tell you guys that. Its dead obvious. Anyway, to cap off this year’s #frifotos tag on twitter, I’ve decided to join in with the excitement on the biggest topic yet – #Best0f2011. These are selected travel photos I’ve taken during the duration of the year. To recap, I’ve visited about 6 countries. Twice I went to the United Arab Emirates and 4 times to Malaysia. Not as many as I wanted to but, yes, work do come as a priority for the course of this year. In the meantime am hoping for an even better 2012 and naturally better taken photos.

Enjoy.
