Moving to France in 2018 changed my life, and my attitude towards travel, forever. In overcoming the multitude of difficulties when living in a foreign country and navigating a new culture, it opened up my world, instilling confidence in myself and my ability to travel solo, which eventually led me to move to Australia in 2024. Photography is a way for me to connect with each place I go, new and old, and hold on to experiences in a visceral way.
