I ​left my full-time job of 6 years because I had reached a point where I wasn't feeling challenged anymore. I took some time off to travel. A 3 week solo trip to Patagonia became 3 months in South America. I hiked through the Andes and I realize how much I craved the challenges of these hikes. Since then I've backpacked through SE asia, Nepal, India, pushing myself​ beyond my comfort zones. This has inspired me to share my knowledge and experiences through my photography.
