Oman

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.

Such a colourful and full of life city. Fun fact, Colombia is home to more native fruits than there are days in the year!

Vienna is such a wonderful place, class, cafes, and classical music.

A city that really feels like several cities that have slowly consumed each other. Love the variety that it has but don't love how car dependent it is to get around.

Escaped the Canadian winter for a bit for a multi week stint in Mexico City, I can totally see why this is such a popular destination. Such a vibrant city and was nice to get a taste of that Latin charm that I fell in love with in 2023, will definitely be back

Castles and kingdoms

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

& Laussane + Annecy. At one point, I considered going to school in this part of the world so it was cool to finally visit and see the road not taken.

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

Undeniably one of the cultural capitals of the world and for good reason
