Initial reaction: That's my country!!!!! 🇵🇭 By now it feels like I have 2 homes. After months of being away, it's good to step on my birth nation again. #philippines #travel #vscocam #land

Everything in life comes in seasons. Hold, pause, breathe, pray and let go. Loi Krathong in Chiang Rai, Thailand 2015 #vsco #thailand #chiangrai #medialightasia #travel

"But put aside the passivity and the quest for complete fulfillment and the perfectionism and the preoccupation with the future, and for God's sake start making decisions in your life. Don't wait for the liver-shiver. If you are seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, you will be in God's will, so just go out and do something." -Kevin DeYoung, Just Do Something 📷 @maiajulianaa #life #faith #vscocam

For years, I was beyond scared straight to talk to strangers whenever I attempted to photograph someone. I had this irrational fear of approaching a stranger, something that's not really present when I'm shooting videos. Before my India trip, I challenged myself to break this limiting mindset. One person at a time, I slowly began to intentionally approach subjects. When I took this first portrait, barriers started to crumble. It was liberating. #talktostrangers #travel #india

To every person who took the time to write, greet, call and message during my birthday. To each individual I exchanged looks with, smiles and stories along the way. To the weathered, seasoned and resilient bonds that stood the test of time. To the strangers that turned into even stranger, unexpected and inspiring friends. I'm blessed to have known you in my quarter of a century journey. Hopeful and faithful. I'm looking forward to the intersection of our paths and to the future roofs, meals and moments that we'll share together. Thank you for being part of my story. :)

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning That's when I could finally breathe And by morning gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean #clean #vsco

Let's pause for a moment and appreciate this beauty. #food #vsco #pepperph (at Lorenzo Garden Grill)

Nowhere to run for cover, it was too late to turn back. #vsco #storysentence #rain
