Wanderlust was always second-nature for me. During all of my adoloscence, my favorite past-time was daydreaming about the world out there, so unknown and intriguing. As the years passed, I lived this desire vicariously through others, consuming every piece of content related to travel I could get my hands and eyes on.

I always thought that someday I would’ve wanted to take action and become part of the inspirators for those in my situation, but life, especially at that age, changes quickly. Plus, I always had this blind faith in myself that told me that one day the time would have come.

It’s a good mentality, but it can be dangerous if you just rely on it instead of putting in work.

And that’s where I fell into the trap of hoping that everything will pan out the way I envisioned it, eventually.

The last few years of school killed my creativity, and the rough environment made me resort to the prospect of another life, far from that I had dreamt of. I wasn’t living up to the potential I believed to have.

At the start of 2020, everything changed. I had just won a bet that earned me about a thousand euros, which was so much that I almost had no idea how to spend it. 

However, that time I made the right decision. My friends always told me that the photos I used to take with my phone looked great, and I believed them, even though the only difference between mines and theirs was just that I had discovered the edit button, enabling me bump up the saturation and to play with the shadows.

Having no other desire, I decided to look into it, and I bought my first camera.

At the time I used to gain interest in many things, eventually abandoning them after a few weeks, so I gave myself some time to experiment with it, but the pandemic had other plans.

While remotely finishing my last year of school, I started to pay more attention to my new hobby than to class, and since the direction I was headed in wasn’t really inspiring me, I decided to make a quick google search regarding the possibility of merging travel with my newly found photography, and sure enough I discovered the existence of something called “Travel Photography”.

From the moment I read those words, my life has been devoted to chasing the dream.

I started studying everything, from the basics of the camera and the editing, to the history and the method in making it a business. It wasn’t until September of 2020 that I went on my first trip as a photographer. London,  six days, just me and my camera.

That first trip taught me that I had no idea what to do, but that I was headed in the right direction. I was back on track.

After that, I went on a few trips around Italy for a good part of the following year, as the world was going through a lot.

For many reasons I had yet to go on longer, deeper trips, which is what I was so attracted to back in my adolescence.

When the opportunity came I took it, and I flew to Georgia (the country) for more than a month.

That trip changed my life, as I discovered what I really crave for when I travel, what I want to depict, and what stories I want to tell.

In 2022 I went on my biggest adventure to date, spending two months in the Sahara Desert of Mauritania, discovering a land that was completely different from anything that I had previously covered.

In 2023 I strive to create my best content to date on all fronts, and with many adventures already lined up, I can’t wait to get started.

I hope you will join me.
