I am a travel enthusiast, amateur photographer, and so much more with a mind that never switches off. I am always seeking the good in life, relishing the challenge of the hunt. I travel to discover who I am, using photography as a means to capture my moments of joy and writing to reassure myself that my thoughts are indeed my allies.
What can you expect from this lightning-speed, travel-obsessed, photography enthusiast? This space you’ve stumbled onto is neither a conventional travelogue nor a photo journal. It’s a canvas and my mind is the brush; it can be anything I want it to be at a given moment. This is the beauty of the life I am crafting – it is 100% mine, always fluctuating, and brimming with creativity.
Even though life has dealt me some painful blows during my 25 years, this blog is my beacon – it illuminates the good, showcases the beautiful, and celebrates the profound. Here, you’re welcome to enjoy my pictures, draw inspiration from my journeys, and join me in actualizing my dreams.
I graduated from Arizona State University in December 2020 with a B.A. in Global Studies, reflecting my love for traveling. I further studied History, Women and Gender Studies, and two years of the Italian language. Beyond academics, I’ve lived life on the move – having called two other continents, Europe and Asia, my home.
My professional career includes a transformative three-month stint teaching English in Zhongshan, China in 2019, which completely reshaped my perspective on life. I lived in the heart of Rome, Italy, for four months at the end of that year, working as an au pair and falling in love with the country. I’ve since returned twice more, living in our family home in Poggio Nativo in the summer of 2021 and returning to Rome for a month in the spring of 2022.
My wandering feet have carried me to 18 countries across two continents, including 40 different cities and towns across Italy. And in case you’re wondering – no, I’m not done yet. There are many more corners of the world to explore. So, join me on this journey of discovery and endless adventure.
have always had a hell of a lot going on in my mind. I swear it (my brain) works at lightning speed, always trying to think of the next best thing. Sometimes even I can’t keep up with myself. I am someone that seeks out the good, no matter where I can find it. I travel to find myself, take photos to remember the days I am happy, and scribble down my thoughts to remind myself that my mind is on my side.
