To me, travel is about challenging the world we live in and the everyday life you experience. If you never take the opportunity to explore, you will never truly understand the person you can become or challenges you can overcome. From the Caribbean, Europe to all over the US, climbing mountains, exploring oceans, learning about art and culture, I am fortunate to have explored many incredible place

s. But...my true passion for wanderlusting began when I met my soul sister at the airport in Durango, Colorado where our friendship & passion for travel journeys all began! When Covid hit, our travels stopped. In May, 2020 I became incredibly sick from Covid19. I was hospitalized for 40 days and almost lost my life. I sat in the hospital with a bipap machine (non-mechanical ventilator) for over a week pretending to snorkel while watching the sea turtles on the discovery channel. This was one of my biggest dreams yet to conquer. After 6 months of recovery, endless medical tests and doctors appointments, I was recently able to travel to Tulum, Mexico for one of my besties birthday! My dream came true and I swam with the sea turtles and explored in a new way. What I learned is that life is truly short. We worry so much in our lifetime, that we tend to forget how to fully live. This is when I decided to build onto my career path by stepping into an industry I love...travel & photography. I am excited to live out my wildest dreams, help others, explore, view the world through my unique lens, & create new exciting experiences. Travel and photography have always been intertwined. I think we have such a brief amount of time in this world that I can’t think of a better use of my time than to travel, to photograph the world, experience life in different places. To me, there’s nothing more important than that.” ~ Steve McCurry
