Nomad Stories

“One of the reasons I am so drawn to photography is because I strongly believe that certain images can change the world. Photos have the ability to show people things they never may have ever seen and can change their perspectives.”

“Photography reinforced my love for nature, and my love and advocacy of the wilderness. Photography is how I inspire myself – it is fundamentally for me. I always felt a little inert up until I really took photography seriously.”

“Dragging myself up a mountain for a breathtaking view and a particular photo or being outside in stormy weather just because the clouds look amazing, are all situations that some people may not understand but are things I wouldn’t want to miss now – because they bring me the most beautiful photos, emotions and memories.”

“Surprise, learning and opportunity lies in the unexpected. And in the end, it is up to us to declare something as a success or a failure, even if it didn’t go as expected. You can create your own norm.”

“I truly think that we can experience so much more at home when we would be a bit more impulsive and open up to strangers, just like when we travel.”

“My way of traveling is just to go with the flow. If one pays attention and listens, the universe will send you on some crazy paths and adventures, you just have to be open to new things and take the bad with the good.”

“Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible.” Follow your personal legend, listen to the kid within you.”

Learning the “why” is still my favorite reason to travel. There is always a “why” for the reason people do things, and finding that out can illuminate an entire side of a culture that seemed so odd just moments before.”

“One of the main purposes of my photography is to represent places I visited and by doing so encourage other people to travel. In my opinion photography is one of the most powerful tools to translate how we perceive the world with our own eyes.”

“Live by your compass, not your clock” is a quote that I always remind myself of and love to share with others. It’s how I feel we should always try to live our lives; living in the moment and appreciating what’s in front of you rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about what’s to come.”
