Having spent most of my life in Seattle—one of the United State's most thriving cultural melting pots—I've desired to immerse myself in cultures beyond my own. From serving a local orphanage in a suburb of Cairo to trying exotic fruits in Davao City, I have actively pursued a deeper cultural awareness, and have traveled to 13 countries around the world as I work towards achieving my goal of spending time in at least 25 nations across every continent of the globe by 2030.
Some of my favorites include Greece, Egypt, Thailand, and Japan, but I've included some picturesque sites from other countries below. All photos are unedited and taken from an iPhone.
