About me
I was born in Ghana, West Africa, and my first travel adventure was at two years old when my family moved to Prague (then Czechoslovakia!).I've been living in the US off and on for most of my adult life between New York City, California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and back to New York again. Yea, I move a lot!
I love traveling and meeting people who travel, but more than that I love talking to the local people wherever I go listening to their stories - the good, the bad, the ugly - and then creating a visual memoir for those trips. Sometimes it's a documentary, other times it's a visual editorial.
Some of my favorite adult travels so far: Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Canada, Germany, Japan.
