“You know what the three most exciting sounds in the world are? Anchor chains, plane motors, & train whistles”
– George Bailey, It’s a Wonderful Life

Our names are Charles, Heather, and Sephora, and we are the Gilded Gosling. We love everything about traveling, waiting in the airport, riding on trains, taking ferries, getting lost in the rain, everything.

A big part of traveling often is seeing more than just resorts and the pretty parts of the world. Traveling sustainably is important, and witnessing litter, waste, and pollution from Seattle to Venice has impressed on us the importance of conservation and living responsibly. That is why many of our writings and travels focus on nature and our obligation to keep our beautiful places beautiful.

We capture all the pictures and video used on our website and social media ourselves.
We are currently using:
Canon R5 for photography and video.
DJI Mini Pro 3 for drone footage.
