BLOG & VLOGS

Raison d'être for this section:

I enjoy telling stories using photos and videos — but I’m not the biggest fan of Instagram. I feel it often doesn’t do justice for the moments we capture.

So this “blog” is more of a personal, visual outlet mainly meant for my latest photography and adventure vlogs. Explore and enjoy!
