About Stephen Gollan
Hi, I'm Stephen Gollan. I have my own travel blog and photograph and film everywhere I travel to in the world. My goal is not to visit all countries in the world. My goal is to get to know the countries I visit. This often means I visit the same country many times. For me, people, culture and food are an important part of learning a country - besides the country's cities, landscapes and nature. Already on my first trip in Greenland, I found out the country is highly addictive. I know Greenland will be a country I will visit a lot of times before I have found the soul of the country and have seen everything.
