For Dave Stamboulis, being a global nomad and pursuing his passions of photographing and documenting his travels came rather naturally. Born in Athens, Greece, Dave grew up in Berkeley, California, before heading to Europe to travel and teach in the 1980’s. Following this, Dave moved to Japan, where he spent 3 years living in the Japanese Alps, climbing mountains and teaching English. He then spent the next seven years traveling around the world 40,000 kilometers by bicycle, crossing the Himalayas several times, including a year’s stint in both Nepal and India. The result of this journey was the well received book, Odysseus’ Last Stand: Chronicles of a Bicycle Nomad, which received the Silver Medal from the Society of American Travel Writers for Travel Book of the Year in 2005-2006. Dave now resides in Bangkok, Thailand, where he works for magazines, newspapers, and stock agencies as a freelance photojournalist. His quest for stories and images in off the beaten track places has taken him to spots such as Borneo, Ethiopia, Bolivia, and other way out locations, often reached via bicycle, kayak, or on foot. |
