Hello and welcome to my travel web site. My name is Bill Fleites and my alma mater is the University of Florida, the home of the Fighting Gators. Travel and photography are my two favorite hobbies. Thus I put together this web site to share my travel experiences and display some of the photographs that I have taken. I love travelling anywhere, but my trips to Europe have been extra special. I am fascinated by the history, art, and architecture of Europe. So far I have visited cities in England, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain. I am currently in the final planning stages for my next trip which will consist of a solo first time visit of Egypt, Greece, and Turkey. After which I will join up with my sister Cari and nephew Ricardo to introduce them to the wonders of Rome, Florence, Venice, and Paris.

The buttons on the left allow you to easily navigate through my web site. Using them you can read my travelogues, look at my complete set of photographs, browse through my hotel recommendations, read my travel tips, or check out some of my favorite travel links. If you would like, feel free to sign my guest book or send me email.

If you would like to get a quick feel for the site's content you can use the Slide Show icon below in order to take a photo tour of the places I have found the most interesting during my travels.

Thanks for stopping by and come back soon as I hope to be frequently updating the site.

I've recently revived an old interest in SLR nature photography with the purchase of a Canon 1D Mark II DSLR and some great Canon telephoto lenses. You can visit my Pbase gallery and browse through my exciting new wildlife photos by clicking here.
