Wanderlust Photography

Local San Diegan - Ocean Beach resident. Fulltime Artist. autodidactic photographer. Fulltime Co-parent. Skater. Surfer. Mom. Snowboarder. Adrenaline junkie. Music fanatic. Travel addict – Wanderlust tamer... I am and always will be one who swims upstream... I grew up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and moved to San Diego 10 years ago to attend college. After I graduated and sent myself straight into the arms of a nuclear family 9-5 lifestyle I found my white picket fence suffocating the free spirit inside me...after feeling the need to spread my wings I went traveling throughout Europe and SouthEast Asia staying on strangers couches using Couchsurfing.org and fell in love with travel and Photography..that was the end of me as I knew myself and a whole new being was created after that trip...someone full of adventure, curiosity, passion along with a new found love for the world and exploration. During college I worked in television and then after, in academia. While working in academia I found that a free spirit in an office is to a bird in a cage and being in that environment was killing my soul... I needed another outlet to fulfill my life and I found myself yearning to travel more and needing more art in my life. From there I have kept moving forward in any direction that leads me to fulfilling the innate desire to create and adventure.
