Travel


Travel has always been a big part of my life. I've been on many excursions abroad with my family, and it has been engrained in me from a young age the importance of getting out and experiencing new places and cultures. My travel experience has ranged from family vacations to tropical locations to studying abroad in Beijing, China to backpacking around Europe alone to traveling through Vietnam with friends.

The headshot from the home page was a photo my friend took of me in New York City, and the header picture above was take on Mont-Blanc in France from backpacking trip in Europe and is probably the best picture I have ever taken.

On this page you can find information about my study abroad experience and some of my favorite pictures that I've taken on my travels so far.
