Open Journeys

Juanli is as essential to travel as your passport. I joined her for a photo trip to China, an adventure fraught with drama on my part; first with my baggage not arriving until days into the trip. Juanli translated to fill out required lost luggage documents, then took me shopping to find the largest winter coat probably in the country to cover my 6’4” frame.
Next drama came when the heel on my hiking boots disintegrated. Juanli found me a cobbler in a rural town, whom proceeded to build me a new heel.
Then if that wasn’t enough, my crown came off at dinner high up in the mountains of Huangshan, and Juanli got on the phone and coordinated an emergency visit to a dentist to have it recemented, all without missing a beat in our travel schedule. What most assuredly would have ruined a trip across the globe, Juanli went over and above to ensure that I didn’t miss a thing and that the group was not negatively impacted. Oh, and I got some great photographs of spectacular landscapes along the way. I can’t recommend Juanli Sun enough. You will be in the best of hands

I have just returned from an outstanding photographic adventure in China and Tibet with Juanli Sun. She has the uncanny ability to take us to remote places to capture remarkable images. Her artistic ability gave me a chance to see the world a little differently, and the images I’ve returned with are some of the best I’ve ever done. As native of the area, Juanli is the perfect workshop leader for an unforgettable experience in China and Tibet.
