I’m a travel enthusiast, amateur photographer, storyteller, and all-around curious soul with a mind that never switches off. I’m always searching for the good in places, people, and fleeting moments, and I find it through the thrill of the journey. I travel to understand who I am. I take photos to remember the days I felt most alive. I write to remind myself that my thoughts are my allies.
This space you’ve stumbled onto isn’t your typical travel blog or photo journal. It’s a canvas, and my mind is the brush, always shifting, always creating. It’s where I give shape to the life I’m building: entirely my own, unapologetically creative, and forever evolving.
Though life hasn’t always been gentle, especially in my 25 years on this planet, this blog has become my beacon. It shines a light on the beauty, honors the profound, and makes space for joy. Whether you’re here for stories, snapshots, or a bit of soul-searching, you’re welcome.
I graduated from Arizona State University in 2020 with a B.A. in Global Studies, along with studies in History, Women and Gender Studies, and two years of Italian. My love for culture and human connection has taken me far, from teaching English in Zhongshan, China, to living and working in Rome, Italy, where I fell completely in love with the rhythm of life there.
Since then, I’ve returned to Italy several times — spending summers in our family’s countryside home in Poggio Nativo, and visiting more than 50 towns across the country. I’ve also traveled through more than 25 countries across Europe and Asia, and I’m just getting started.
At my core, I’m someone who feels deeply and dreams big. My brain moves fast (sometimes too fast), but it’s always in search of what’s next, the next story to tell, the next path to explore, the next version of myself to meet.
Thanks for being here. Let’s wander, wonder, and create something beautiful.
