I use my flickr account as a photo journal. Many aspects of my life are played out in these photographs: my travels (both international and domestic), college, my cats, photoshoots, yummy food and baking adventures, family and friends, my (failed) 365 entries and many of my webcam photos since 2005. I suppose I just open myself up to anyone who wants to sit down and get to know me, via thousands of images and captions. I take pictures of almost everything.

I'd want nothing more than to live my life wandering about the world, camera and notebook in hand, capturing the complexities and beauty in every culture I come across. I'll probably spend my life finding a way to balance my homebody nature (my loved ones means the world to me) and my insatiable wanderlust. For now I'm just a college student neck deep in student loans, who tries to jump on as many planes as possible. I'm still figuring things out. My life is comprised of to-do lists, and thankfully, amazing friends who I've made along the way.
