Kalimero - Paolo A. Santos

Paolo A. Santos Good day,

My name is Paolo A. Santos and I am a photographer and video artist with a focus on environmental consciousness.

I was conceived in Hong Kong, born in the Philippines, grew up and became a Canadian citizen and lived in Toronto, Canada, learned a bit of French, met my wife in Montreal, Quebec and will be moving back to our house in Las Vegas this year.

I was trained as a classical painter, but started off my artistic path as a freelance music video art-director and set artist. Then moved on to composing and producing music for ballet and contemporary dance in North America, South America and Europe, but my real love is traveling and creating consciousness about the environment.

I hope my blogs will help inspire more travel and respect for the natural wonders of our planet.

I am new to this blogging thing so it will take me a while to post all my travels.

Take care.

In 2007 I went camping with my wife, Caroline, a French-Canadian Montrealer who is totally in love with Hawaii. I am too, and our dream is to one day buy ourselves out of all the noise and buy a large plot of land in Hawaii and live quietly and harmoniously with nature. We have visited Maui twice, Oahu and the Big Island some time ago, so now it was time for Kauai. The moment we landed, it definitely felt different from the other Hawaiian islands. It just felt a little quieter and definitely a lot more green and moist. We also [View Full Entry]

THE WAVE My wife and I had been trying to get a permit for about a year to get into "The wave". So finally after so many tries and rejections, we were granted permits for August in 2008. This place is absolutely amazing. So far, it is one of my favorite places on the planet. It has such good energy to it that I plan to go there again next year. It is a very delicate and serene place, carved out by spiraling winds. I hope that anyone and everyone who goes there will understand that it is a privilege to [View Full Entry]

FRENCH POLYNESIA In July 2006, my wife and I went for our honeymoon in French Polynesia. We landed in Tahiti first and stayed at the Sofitel Hotel in Papeete'. It was very nice and luxurious, but my wife and I prefer to rough it up every time we travel. We like to hang out with the locals and get to know their customs, eat their food and such. So after Tahiti, we flew off to the second largest atoll in the world, Rangiroa. We stayed at a pension where they served breakfast of baguettes and fruit, you are own your own [View Full Entry]

ANTELOPE SLOT CANYONS In 2007 my wife and I went to Kanab, Utah to try to get a permit for "The Wave" through their onsite lottery system. We camped the day before and got to the Ranger station before it opened. There, close to 100 people from all over the world stood in line. They only gave out 10 permits and 4 went to a group from Norway and 6 went to a group from Germany. Having driven all the way from Las Vegas, we felt that we should lift our heads up and enjoy what was around. After a couple [View Full Entry]
