Travel Blog
Welcome to my travel journey, a space where adventure meets art.
Here, I document places that have moved me, the people I've met, and the quiet in between moments that often go unnoticed. You'll find travel inspired art prints, snapshots from life on the road, and glimpses of my personal story as a creative.
Whether it's a bustling city street or a quiet desert sunrise, each post reflects the same approach I bring to my work, intentional, soulful, and story driven.
Sedona, AZ
A Photographer’s Dream.
A Photographer’s Dream
From the moment I approached Sendona, I knew I was in for something special. The towering red rocks, endless skies, and the unique energy of the desert created the kind of scenery that’s hard to believe until you see it with your own eyes. Every turn felt like a curated shot from a movie set.
As a visual storyteller, I was in heaven, capturing beautiful moments and colors that don’t exist anywhere else.
Leading the Way
Our trip began in Phoenix, and from there we hit the road to soak in Arizona’s stunning scenery. With little time to plan, we pretty much winged the entire adventure and only later discovered that Sedona actually has its own airport!
The drive turned out to be more than worth it. Along the way, we stopped at Rock Springs Café in Black Canyon City, where I had the best pie of my life!
First-Time Climber
This trip was more than just sightseeing, it pushed me. For the first time, I took on a bit of rock climbing at Cathedral Rock Trail and I loved it! The thrill of reaching a summit after scrambling up rock faces was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had.
Energy You Can Feel
One of Sedona’s most unique features is the vortex energy found along certain trails like Boynton Canyon, Cathedral Rock , Bell Rock, and Airport Mesa Trail.
Perfect Weather, Endless Trails
I couldn’t have asked for better weather, sunny but not too hot, breezy but not cold. Spring really is the ideal time to visit Sedona. And although I covered a lot of ground, there are still so many trails I didn’t get to (Boynton Canyon and Devil’s Bridge Trail are at the top of my list). A second trip is definitely in the works.
