Title: Pico - Ponta do Pico, Portugal
Date: 2019
Description: Climbing Pico, Portugal's highest peak at over 7,700 feet, wasn't easy. What was easy was appreciating the boundless views provided from the summit. The azure waters of the Atlantic surrounded me, and I knew there would just never quite be another view like this.

Title: Insignificance - Interlaken, Switzerland
Date: 2019
Description: This photo was taken on a hike through the mountains in Lauterbrunnen. The feeling of insignificance is a very humbling experience and this was one of those moments. When I went to Switzerland I had only been abroad a month and around this time I was going through the normal waves of culture shock where I was starting to miss home. Switzerland was a place that gave me a refresh of home, the smell of fresh air and rain, being surrounded by mountains and complete beauty grounded me. It helped me feel connected to home even though I was far from it. Switzerland holds a special place in my heart because it came when I needed it most. This photo was taken in a moment where I knew I would come back to Switzerland someday. It's unfathomable how mountains and nature that beautiful exist. Although I may have seemed insignificant to the towering mountains, the mountains will always be significant to me.

Description: This was taken at a memorial for fallen hikers and locals on one of our highest trekking elevations (nearly 5,000 meters) near the town of Lobuche. The memorial felt like a testament to the human spirit and the incredible obstacles that face scientists, locals and hikers who want to experience this incredible ecosystem.
