Roaming with Rainier

Hello! My name is Rainier and I’m the person behind Roaming with Rainier. I have always had a passion for traveling and photography, but then the pandemic happened. With the world in lockdown, I started to realize how much I missed traveling. I missed exploring and visiting places I hadn’t been to yet.
