Iceland 2018
Reykjavik.
There's not much more invigorating than purchasing a ticket to Iceland at 11:45 pm before a deal closes at midnight! This spontaneous long weekend trip with two of my best friends was something straight out of a dream. The landscape was our fairytale setting to explore! Everything you hear about Iceland is true and so much more.

France 2017
Paris, Chartres, Barbizon, Auvers-sur-Oise, Versailles.
This next international trip to France was special for more than just a new stamp in my passport. I had the privilege to present my research on 19th-century photography, that I had conducted at West Virginia University under the supervision of Dr. Raymond the previous year. From the pre-requisite course to the six credit hour night class that followed, and the weeks of research and editing for the cherry on top, all the hard work was more than paid off! I could not have dreamed of this trip if I tried and experiencing it with fellow Art Historians was something I will hold dear to me for the rest of my life.

Nevada 2016
Las Vegas, Death Valley NP, Hoover Dam.
Out west, everything is a hundred miles away until you get there. Having been out west previously, the vast expansion didn't shock me, but this trip is the first time I drove and had a true road trip experience out west was a different story! To roll my windows down, car camp and explore marvels of nature with my best friend was an adventure that I will never forget!

Hawaii 2016
Maui.
The final year we could be certain of having a full week off from school and work would be possible for my family, we went big! Or rather, to one of our country's smaller states; Hawaii. From lulus, pig roast, whale sightings and black sand beaches, this island has something for everyone to enjoy. Their rich history and traditions create the foundation of which we pay respect to the island for, today.

Charlotte, Asheville, Wilmington, Sylva.
First, in March of 2016, my sister and I hit the road for a Spring Break road trip! This trip had one agenda; stopping in Charlotte for an interview. I received and accepted an offer from this meeting for an internship that summer! Then from May to August, I explored the beautiful state of North Carolina from the biggest "tourist" traps to it's quiet, hidden gems. Living in a new state with so many natural and famous experiences to explore changed my world.

SoCal 2016
San Diego.
In May 2016, my Uncle, two Cousins, and I went to San Diego, CA for a week to celebrate us being 21. The southern coast of California is truly a magical place with its own pace of life. Every corner of the city had different character and culture. This relaxing trip with no plan allowed us to fully explore and be enveloped by the city!

Most of our three weeks were spent in the Atacama desert. Our home base was San Pedro. We ended the trip in the capital, Santiago for three days. Once we returned to Morgantown, West Virginia another week was spent in the studio editing and putting together a final presentation of our work.
