This blog is an honest account of everything I've learned and experienced throughout my journey.

Throwback X Jordan Visiting the shire was a dream come true! Too bad Sam & Frodo weren’t there 😕 Now, I have no idea what I’m gonna wear them with when I get back home 🤷🏽‍♀️🧳 Throwback x Maui Throwback x New Zealand Photo Dump Throwback x New Zealand: This is the most random and most beautiful picture that I have taken. I was driving around New Zealand and stopped to get gas. I got a bit lost and ended up on a dead end street with a house that burned down. The colors looked so vivid in the sunlight and I ended up with this sad, but amazing portrait.
