JACMEL, HAITI

I recently went on a day trip to Jacmel, Haiti. Instead of driving 4 hours on terrible roads, we decided to adventure on an extremely small plane no bigger than a minivan (with some nerve-racking turbulence included). 

After flying right through the mountains, I now realize that the Haitian proverb, "beyond the mountains, more mountains," is no joke! Also, Haiti literally means "land of high mountains." Now, I can understand why. And man, are they beautiful! I loved them before, but after this trip, I've fallen for them in a head-over-heels kind of way.

Here are some of my favorites captures from the day. 

TIJUANA, MEXICO

 I am currently on a little vacation in Southern California in attempt to gather up some much needed rest, all while visiting close friends and family. My dear friend Bailey invited me to visit the place she used to call home, an orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico. Although I needed some rest, I couldn't resist such an offer! So, I packed a small backpack and headed out for a two day adventure across the border. I met some beautiful people, played lots of soccer (or fútbol as they'd call it), and ate the world's best tacos. Needless to say, Haiti is not the only country that has my heart; Mexico has swept in and stole a little piece of it.
