Stockholm, Sweden, January 2019
This was my first time traveling internationally by myself; as a person who struggles with anxiety, this was an amazing feat. This is a photo of the first 'fika' I had in Stockholm with the family I met there and they taught me that it was to take a break and spend quality time with one another over coffee/tea and some to eat, typically a pastry, but we had something savory!

Remembering Aleš; The only person looking into the camera, Aleš, was a friend we made while in Prague at a pub that was open in the middle of the night. It was so refreshing to be able to connect and build community wherever we went. A couple years later, he actually came to California to visit since he was here for work. About two months ago today, he sadly and suddenly passed away. This photo is in remembrance of him.
