Beginners luck 🍀. Won my first festival out of 190 submissions 🥳.
Such a rewarding journey!

And to the rest of the people who I met on the way and helped me on the way :)

Didn't make it to the "Burn" this year, so I had to pull one out of the archives.

Yes, I was looking for a land surveyor some time ago. What for? You'll see why soon. Yep, expect more adventures coming your way.

How many times have you heard the expression, “Free as a bird.”? Skydiving showed me how true that saying is. There’s a different sense of freedom when you’re up in the sky. 🪂 You see the world from a different perspective, and you’re really present--you’re in the moment at that space. It’s something you have to experience for yourself.

If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from traveling and going on different adventures, it’s that being with friends and family makes the whole experience so much better. Thank you, guys, for always being there. 😇

I didn’t know that unintentionally breaking my promise to my friends and family would lead to one of the most memorable experiences in my life. In order to gain my re-entry visa to Australia, I booked a flight to the remote island of Sumba, Indonesia. 😅😅

I only wanted to attend the local festival called “Pasola” but it became a flight for my life. I also bought a goat and had a picnic with the Chief of Samba in a mysterious lake. I was honored to hear their stories.

I had a rollercoaster of emotions while I was there but the people and the experiences I had there were worth it. 🤎
