BALI

My experiences on this island are some of the most potent memories of all of my travels. I was presented with numerous challenges, many emotional and also physical. From a travel heartbreak that left me sobbing on the streets of Ubud as the sun went down, to a motorbike accident that left me with two Argentinian saviors and 10 new stitches in my leg, I found myself constantly trying, but not succeeding, to make up for a bad time in such a beautiful and electric place. In these moments of weakness, homesickness, and wanting to give up, I found myself drawn to Bali’s lushness as an escape from my superficial problems. These photographs capture the times that I felt enveloped in a surreal comfort from nature even when everything felt like it was going wrong. When I felt too human, I went back to earth.
