So FFPs and accumulating miles and points for me was only a secondary hobby, to allow for my primary hobby of travel outdoor photography.
Even though I’m not that good a travel/photography job has always been a dream.
I have about a terabyte of travel photography for places I’ve been. I also, could have not travelled as I did without the FFP’s. There are many places yet I would still like to see but not sure that will happen anytime soon. #1 is Antarctica completing the ‘step foot on all continents’ goal.
I live int NE and have enjoyed a few staycations and discovered some local wildlife I had not seen preCOVID. I now have shots of the local Bald Eagle, Black Bear, white tail deer, red tailed Hawk to name a few. 😀
