let’s talk photography during travel 📸🤍
This photo was taken at the Trevi Fountain in Rome and it was a crazy effort to get the perfect picture with the massive crowd all trying to do the same. Nowadays the world is obsessed with taking pictures, selfie culture is just a way of life. It can seem annoying or obsessive to many people and I completely understand why. It feels like some are interested only in snapping a picture and then storing it away to never be looked at again, a box simply to be checked and not truly appreciated. Many who have traveled with me know that I am all about capturing my travels through photographs. I am always looking for the best photo, the best angle, the best background. It may seem superficial to some but I want to explain my thinking for a moment. I am someone who wants to see and visit many places in the world. I will rarely return to a destination because there’s always so many more I have yet to see. Therefore, each destination, each sight, has importance to me. I want to be able to remember all the places I have been, the things I have done and the people I have met. I want to look back in 50 years at a collection of memories and stories told through photos. With social media today, that can lead me to getting a little carried away, seeing other’s “perfect” photos and wanting the same for myself. But I have started to work on capturing imperfect moments, not caring about the small details so much, not editing every picture to perfection and creating balance between capturing and experiencing the moments. So yes I do have many amazingly posed/edited photos but I also have many amazing moments that were witnessed only by my eyes and ears and heart, and those mean just as much, if not more, to me. 🤍

What type of traveler are you? 🤔🤍
I think people see other’s travel stories and experiences and immediately assume that there is only 1 type of travel. That you have to be a certain type of person, with a certain budget or interests or abilities in order to truly “travel”. That months long international backpacking trips or solo travel are the only ways you can call yourself a “traveler”. And while I have definitely fallen into those aforementioned categories before, there are so many more styles of travel that I have experienced and think it’s so important to remind others of as well. Yes you can do the extended backpacking trips, but you can also do a short getaway to one place. You can do a budget trip where you bounce from hostel to hostel or you can do a stay at a luxury all inclusive resort. You can fly or road trip or take a cruise. You can explore and do every adrenaline/adventure activity that exists (like swimming at the top of a waterfall with no harness 🫣) or you can simply exist on a beach somewhere. You can get lost in the historic streets of European cities or you can get lost in the woods for hours. The opportunities are endless when it comes to travel so I always have to remind others (and myself sometimes!) that all trips do not have to fit in the same category to count as traveling. If you know who you are and what you enjoy, do you! If you aren’t sure what you’re into yet, do it all! Just remember, as long as you’re out there exploring, you’re a traveler! 🤍

safari days are the best days 🤍
Unfortunately I am not on safari now, I’m sitting in my car outside of the gym but I was definitely doing some daydreaming on the treadmill of the best moments from safari. I never imagined that it would become one of my favorite activities to do but there’s something so relaxing and enjoyable about being in an open vehicle, the wind rushing through your hair and getting to immerse yourself in nature. When you add to that, the insanely close interactions you are able to have with wildlife (if you’re lucky) it truly does make for the best day. This picture was from my first safari ever in Tanzania and it was the most magical experience. I wasn’t even planning on doing any safaris during my time there since I was volunteering but I’m so glad I made the last minute decision to go. For a girl who has dreamt of visiting Africa for over a decade, it felt like I had come full circle. Since then I have been on several more safaris throughout Africa and it remains one of my top activities to do when traveling 🤍

canalside in Amsterdam 🤍
I haven’t always been a fan of cities, it was just something I knew about myself. The constant chaos and the overwhelming feeling of being surrounded by giant buildings whose exterior felt more clinical than charming was just something that stopped me from fully enjoying them. Growing up just an hour or two from NYC, I was privileged to be able to experience the benefits of a major city but never felt the urge to spend any more time there than necessary. Even some of the incredible cities I have visited around the world have given me similar feelings. But Amsterdam was the opposite of all that. It’s charming buildings and parks connected by little alleys and canals made me feel so much more relaxed and comfortable than I’ve ever felt in a city. I could’ve spent hours strolling through the streets there which is why it has definitely earned the spot of “favorite city” on my list 🤍

the first country I ever visited…England 🤍
I have been lucky enough to travel to this country twice, once just to the city of London and the other time I saw more of the countryside. England is such a fantastic place to travel to for many reasons…they speak English, they have a great mix of historical and modern attractions and it’s so close to many other amazing places in the UK/Europe. While this area is known for rainy, gloomy days, both of my experiences have been the opposite…somehow I managed to be there during “unprecedented heat waves” 😅 England has my heart for many reasons but most importantly, many of the friends I have made on my travels are from this area which is perfect because now I have unlimited reasons to continually visit 🤍

My first solo trip…Costa Rica 🤍 and boy was it CRAZY
I’ll never forget the fear I had when the plane landed in San Jose and I realized that I was alone, in a foreign country, where people spoke a language that I barely understood. It was such a weird feeling. Everyone around me on the plane was happy to be arriving at our destination, feeling relief at the chance to get off the plane and I was so scared I stayed in my seat until almost everyone had left the plane. Thinking back to that moment makes me so proud of my younger self. Even though I put on a brave face for everyone around me and said I wasn’t nervous at all, it was the hardest thing I have ever done. If I hadn’t challenged myself, and made the decision to try traveling solo I would’ve never had the amazing experiences I’ve had over the last 5 years. If I had waited for others to go with me, I wouldn’t have met so many new friends from around the world and learned so much about myself in the process. Best advice I have: do it scared. do it solo🤍

probably the biggest bucket list check off happened this past year…EGYPT 🤍
Egypt was a culture that I have always been obsessed with learning about. It spanned so much time, was the source of so many mysteries and stories and had so many surviving pieces of architecture, art and wisdom. When I was little I would read stories of people who visited Egypt and I always told myself I would go there at least once in my life to see it all in person. There really isn’t anything like being able to touch and walk through such ancient structures. So blessed and grateful to have been able to visit there so early in my life 🤍

annnddd I’m back with a pic of one of my favorite spots from my camping trip in Africa 🤍
I decided that this year I was going to start doing things the way I wanted and that includes this page. I’m not interested in becoming a “travel influencer” or posting the right types of posts to gain followers and attention. This page was only ever created to be a place for me to share my travel experiences with friends and family, not cause me stress over creating the perfect account. If others follow along the way because it resonates with them, then the more the merrier. But from now on it’s going to be just me, authentically sharing my stories 🤍
