So earlier this month I wrote a guest post for my friends The Explorationists about moving to LA, starting over & facing your fears. This was the first time I took a shot at writing, usually I prefer to just have the visuals speak for themselves, but the whole process was really satisfying. Not to mention the great feedback! So I hope you enjoy it & feel free to tell me what you think.
On The Grid - Griffith Park
Really pumped to curate the Griffith Park neighborhood for On The Grid Los Angeles. On The Grid is a online travel guide made by designers for designerly people. It's one of the most beautifully designed sites I've seen in a while. Go check out their site & look through the ever growing list of neighborhoods across the world. And look out for the Griffith Park guide coming out January 15th. It's going to be killer!
To the West Coast
A couple weeks ago I packed up all my things & moved across country to the Golden State. A total of some 2,800+ miles over 6 days from Greenville > New Orleans > Austin > Marfa > Albuquerque > Phoenix > LA. It was one of the most amazing & daunting road trips I've ever taken in my life because I stubbornly decided to make the drive by myself! But broke up the trip with stops to see friends & family along the way & of course some beautiful sights like White Sands, Marfa, Montezuma's Castle & the Prada art instillation.

West Coast Road Trip
I recently took a solo road trip up the West coast & was blown away by the beauty, architecture & colors that surrounded me from LA > Big Sur > SF > Portland > Seattle. Specifically in SoCal/LA, every day held a new adventure. Traveling solo was such an amazing experience too, it opened me up to the journey that came my way, something I've never quite experienced when traveling with a friend.
Here are some of my favorite shots.
