I walked away from everything familiar to chase a dream—to tell stories through visuals and explore a world far bigger than the one I knew. In my early twenties, I followed the expected path: college, a stable job, the safety net of routine. It gave me structure, but not purpose. I wasn’t searching for more—I was searching for something real. Something that felt like mine. I used to look up to the people who took risks—those who packed up their lives to chase something uncertain, who built meaning out of motion. They showed me what was possible beyond the conventional. I realized I didn’t have to follow someone else’s script. I could write my own. In October 2024, I boarded a one-way flight to Indonesia. That leap opened the door to a life in motion—through India, Taiwan, the Philippines, Africa, Europe, the UAE, and so many places in between. Every destination, every person, every moment has shaped me and the way I tell stories. This path hasn’t been simple. It’s taken discipline, patience, and a deep trust in the process. But the real growth—the kind that lasts—comes from connection. With people. With places. And most importantly, with yourself. That’s what keeps me going. That’s what success looks like to me.
