Edinburgh

El Chalten & El Calafate. An incredible an interestingly meditative experience with lots of quiet moments to think and reflect. Many more places in the region to visit in the future.

Castles and kingdoms

Pretty close to paradise in my books. If Summer was a place, this would be it

Made the most out of a 16 hour layover and was amazed by how wonderful KL is and the cool melting pot of Asian culture that it hosts. It was also staggeringly humid

A very fulfilling and heartwarming visit to see friends, it was hard not to fantasize a life for myself here. I felt very immersed in this world, already eager for my next time back. I also challenged myself with only a film camera, to varying results

"City of the Future". I was oddly reminded a lot of my middle school years living in Shanghai while in Dubai. Very globalized and with sprawling skyscrapers, it felt like another world. I was also "lucky" to be here during a rain induced flood.

A childhood friend of mine had his wedding in Haryana and it quickly inspired a larger trip to visit more of the region. It was unlike any other place I've been before and it feels important to see how a large portion of our globe lives. Wonderful spot as far as photography goes as well

Where I was born and raised

Did the rim to river back to rim hike in an afternoon. Was a bit precarious after starting pretty late but made for a great adventure!

Both sides of my family come from here and it is a place that has played a multitude of roles in my life over the years, particularly in shaping my cultural identity. I grew up coming almost every other year and even lived here for my formative middle school years. I then revisited at the end of high school with my Canadian orchestra group. This visit marks 9 years since I last returned to Shanghai (Asia in general), now fully an adult, this visit was quite meaningful to me.
