FOGG Odyssey bio picture

Troy Floyd

I missed the 60's, American, hate cooked green vegetables but love the taste of a cheese and mustard sandwich, been to 20+ countries, once had a 6-figure salary but quit it to be happy.  


Goals in life:

* Sail the Amazon River in my own man made boat from Ecuador to Peru

* Hike Norway on the pilgrimage trail from Oslo to the North for 1 month

* Travel the world by car or motorcycle for 2 years  

* Expand my photography skills

* ...and buy a winning lottery ticket!


Think that sums me up pretty much!  In all honestly, I'm currently living in Quito, Ecuador.  After working long 12hr days, 7 days a week, chasing the wealth dream I finally decided it was time in my life to do something I'm passionate about, PHOTOGRAPHY and TRAVEL!


I will be adding daily posts and pictures to this site, as this site is merely to display my work and keep people informed of where I'm at and doing.  Sign up for my email feeds to get my posts delivered to your inbox.  It's the best way to keep informed!


So if you can't travel, then I invite you to through my website.  For all the ones that are...please look me up.


Forget Obligation Go Global...its my odyssey!

Faces of Cuba: 006

faces-of-cuba-13

  1. What is your first name: Silvia
  2. What city are you from: Trinidad
  3. What country are you from: Cuba
  4. What do you do: House wife (although she is single)
  5. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why: Travel to Mexico because I like Mexican men (and she was dead serious when she said that!).
  6. What’s your dream and why: To take care of her children and support them.

FOGG Notes: I was interviewing her when Gerardo was trying to sell me a painting.  She was the only person in Cuba that approached us versus us approaching them.  We had circled the streets of Trinidad about three times looking for someone interesting and willing to do an interview with.  As we walked by her on the street she saw my camera and stopped us.  I didn’t know what she was saying at first but she had a big smile on her face and just seemed genuine.  She was a real bubbly person and when I asked if I could photograph her she was very excited about it and even more when we asked her the interview questions. She seemed like the kind of person who had a wild younger life but now that she is older she still longs for those days.  The sheer aspect of telling us without a flinch that she loved Mexican men pretty much summed it up… she was and still is a wild women.  Grandma’s Gone Wild comes to mind!

February 28, 2010 - 5:48 pm Invisible Cuba - You must be one of those tourists who is going to liberate Cuba.

March 2, 2010 - 5:56 pm foggodyssey - Liberate Cuba... think they did that themselves 60 years ago. I just try and feature people from countries I have traveled to give people an idea of what people from around the world think on the same subject (their dreams and where they want to travel). Has nothing to do with politics but more of trying to get to know a few people better when one travels.
