I call this series of posts “Travel Diaries,” because they are essentially the ramblings of stories that you would expect to find within the pages of a personal diary or journal. However, this is easier to share with my mom so, I’m now subjecting the internet to my hot takes, my lame humor and our endless travel fails. Enjoy!
ROME, ITALY Through My Lens
Telling my story of Rome, Italy through photos. Captured with a Nikon D3300 (+ a few from my iPhone XR) and edited in Lightroom. I plan to update this post eventually, filling in the details of these stories with words, but, for now—enjoy this aesthetically pleasing photo series of one of the most incredible, historical…

My first thought is how amazed I am, witnessing people communicating in a language that sounds like…
Not in Kansas Anymore
If by some miracle you have somehow managed to allude yourselves from my instagrams, tweets, snapchats, or Facebook posts… I am studying abroad in Alicante, Spain for the Spring semester of my junior year of college. It is «week 3» and I’m finally doing this. I’m going to start forcing myself to sit down and somehow formulate all…
