I feel my love and appreciation for photography officially started when I first became conscious of what traveling truly means for me. I’d say this began in 2022 when I studied in Madrid for my last semester of university. While there, I backpacked other cities and countries in Europe, a lot of that time completely alone. Other times with friends I met along the way or San Diego friends that were also studying abroad. My camera allowed me to really LOOK. How I often traveled in new cities was by foot, this way, I was able to absorb the life that was emanating everywhere.
