I have been traveling around the world for 10 years, but I always end up finding time to go back my favorite region — Central America. There is so much rich culture and history in many of these Central American countries, not to mention pristine escapes and diverse landscapes that I find in each country I visit.
While traveling is a luxury to many people, I use my travels to document and experience life as a nomad. I often travel only with a backpack and a few changes of clothes and then live as simply as possible while I am staying in a particular destination. For me traveling is about learning what binds all of us together, but what also sets us apart culturally.
Some of my favorite things to do when I am in a particular destination is I like to visit notable residents of the city and get to know them. Aside from my passion of travel I also love photography, so combining these two makes me the happiest!
