It was my first time visiting Japan, and I had a lot of fun wandering the streets of Shibuya on my own while the others took a break at a restaurant. It was interesting to see the different culture while I was walking down the street, from the people and fashion to their language and customs.

Although not a direct cityscape, it is a part of our travels. This is my hotel room surrounded by tropical plants and a piece of Cambodia that reminded me of pockets of California.

My family and I had just gotten back from dinner in Florence when we stopped to see a couple get engaged on this bridge, they were German. There was also a Brazilian family on the bridge trying to ask for directions to the same restaurant we had just gone to. All of the people on the bridge had different goals and reasons for being in Florence at that same exact time, but we were all connected in our presence on that bridge.

The first photo features the Jing’an Temple, a nearly 1,800 year old Buddhist temple located in downtown Shanghai, China, known as the “Temple of Peace and Tranquility.” The reconstruction of the temple after its destruction during the Cultural Revolution in 1972 in the heart of Shanghai’s bustling commercial district shown in the photo showcases a transformation of a sacred sanctuary into an active link between ancient traditions and modern urban life of China.

The second photo features Xiaoxia Lane, a quiet street alley at the foot of Wu Mountain in Hangzhou, China. Once a territorial boundary between warring states in China's history, the city-mountain now connects Hangzhou's urban core with its surrounding natural landscape, bringing together the past with modern city life.

I was blessed with a host family when I studied abroad from 2016-2017. I used to be able to see them at least once a year since studying abroad but now its every few years. This was the last time I was in Jaen, Spain in January 2023. I wanted to take a picture with my host family in front of the cathedral because the cathedral is such a beautiful site to see and my host parents are the best thing that came out of my study abroad experience. The cathedral is massive and captivating, especially at night. From left to right is Enric (host dad), Maria (host sister), me and Lola (host mom). We are hoping to meet up next year in Greece.

I went on a Global Jumpstart with the Honors College to Budapest, and the class was about photography. So, during the entire trip I was just taking pictures of everything, but something about this picture stood out to me. When I showed it to the class everyone gasped, said wow, and how amazing it was. I love taking pictures, but this was the first one I felt proud of.
