Rio de Janeiro

I was initially hesitant on doing the loop since it's not the sort of thing that typically piques my interest. So glad I listened to the reviews and went for it, an incredible experience deserving of its own album page

A really underrated part of Canada. Lots of seafood, empty beaches, and calm drives between towns.

Where I was born and raised

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.

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

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!

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

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.

One of my favourite cities, a place I will revisit time and time again.
