CURRENT MISSION

Travel the World and Tell the stories of people through Photography.

ABOUT ME

I am a freelance travel photographer and travel blogger. I love meeting people and experiencing new cultures. I love sharing my stories with through photography or through my writing of some of the interesting people I meet around the world.

Hmm, what do my friends tell me about me? They tell me I am a good guy, kind of quiet at times, and bit quirky at times too. I seem to be the level headed one that people go to. Friends know me as the party animal, but in actuality I am not, (I just enjoy beers).

What I say about me is that I am a geek, and love it. I love design of all type, artistic and creative people just interest me.

I love learning about people, especially those who have grown up with a different life experience than my own. I love hearing stories and learning about people.

I love taking photographs. Mostly of my travels. I love getting people doing every day things, and showing off different cultural events.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life living life. Do not worry about what happened yesterday, do not worry about tomorrow. Enjoy the moment you are in now.

If you don't try things out, you will never learn, doing is the key to learning.
