In July 2017 I quit my day job, bought a one way ticket, and moved to Nicaragua to be with my girlfriend and backpack Central America. This life changing trip lasted over six months and involved living in the rain forests of Costa Rica, Mayan mountain towns of Guatemala, the beaches of El Salvador, a colonial city in Nicaragua, and so much more. It was a complete leap of faith into the unknown and it opened up the floodgates of possibility. Before I made the long term move I took several shorter trips lasting from 1-4 weeks. During this excursion I felt a deep calling to rededicate myself to the craft, return back home, and slowly change the direction of my life. Freshly inspired, and full of new creative energy, I returned home ready to grab my camera and tackle any new projects and challenges that lay ahead.
