“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” ― Dorothea Lange

Life flies by when you are soaking in the moments. Paris loves art, culture, and expression which is hard to describe in words. The magic of photos lets you see and create your own story. Here are some snapshots of my life living in Paris and traveling around.

Sir David King speaking about health and climate change at the "Our Common Future under Climate Change." We as governments and individuals need to decide how much we care about climate change and understand what the risk if we do nothing. Biggest risk? Humans eventually cease to exist, full stop. #UNESCO #climate #climatechange #paris

@Khadijamali, Coordinator of #netmedyouth in Libya was one of the most engaging speakers I have heard at the conference on, "the Internet and Youth." She spoke of her experiences as an online activist in the midst of the Arab Spring and how Libyan youth are driving positive change through online engagement. Simple acts lead to big pushes towards peace, but opportunities for engagement must be present. It's been an honor to share ideas with you. #EmpowerYouth #netmedyouth #uniteforheritage
