A Year of Solo

Photography, writing, book design

I quit my job in September 2017 to take some time off and do what I always wanted to do—get out of my comfort zone and travel the world on my own. For the next year and a half, I took hundreds of photos, sketched, and wrote about my experience.

I ended up traveling to 23 different countries (17 of which I had never been before), and 65 cities I had never visited before.

This is just a small collection of what I did, in book form. While this book is still ongoing, select pages are below.
