Kyushu

While China in recent years has been known for its rapid modernization and metropolises built ground up, the natural sights of the country are truly jaw dropping

A bit dark and rainy but a quaintly charming place.

Where I was born and raised

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.

My first time in the Middle East and certainly won't be my last. An amazing road trip full of mountains, sun, water, sand, and good laughs.

I had the fortune of living in Buenos Aires at the end of 2023 for a few months and it is an experience that I will cherish forever.

Along with Paris, Manhattan is a place that I heavily romanticize. Even though when I visited, it was cold and not too sunny, it was still so full of character

I didn't take many photos while here mainly due to how sweaty and active this trip was. Lots of early mornings, hikes, waterfalls, and fruit consumed.

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

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.
