I MOVED TO ARIZONA | Following my dreams & moving across the country

I MOVED FROM SOUTH DAKOTA TO ARIZONA! Y'all have watched me for the last year struggle to live the life of my dreams from my small hometown of Rapid City, SD, but I decided it was time to hit the ground running again. My friend Chas offered me a place to stay in Phoenix, AZ and I said, why not? I sold nearly everything I owned, packed up what was left, said goodbye to my family and friends, and left for the desert.Follow along as we navigate through the shenanigans of exploring the desert.

I moved to NYC and then Austria and then back to Colorado after graduating college and lost my last job in 2020. I had talked a big game about starting a photography business and traveling the world and losing my job seemed like the right opportunity. I am based out of the US and traveling with every opportunity possible. I love to create beautiful visuals along the way to inspire you to live a life that you love.
