About

I am a freelance travel photographer who loves the outdoors. I am based in the Bay Area in California but I'm on the road most of the time!

Home airports

SFO for international, SJC for west coast.

My travel style

My own travel has included a mix of roughing it in hostels and living the life of luxury – I know there's a time and place for both! Either way, I love being outdoors, and think that the feeling of returning back home to a hot shower and sinking into a comfortable bed after a day full of adventure is the best in the world. I also love finding the most delectable food to eat in each destination, and I definitely won't say no to a glass of fine wine with that.
