My First Roll of Film
One goal for myself for this year was to learn something new with photography. And something that I have always wanted to try was shooting film. I have a few film cameras that I received from my aunt’s garage sales. I did not know if they worked or not and for the last few years I have been using them as decorations rather than using them as they are meant to be used. Mitchell (my husband) helped me clean some corrosion out of my Nikon A2000 film camera, I wanted to start out using this camera because it has some more auto features on it to help me as I learn film photography. Thankfully Mitchell got it working and it has been really fun playing with it and figuring it out.
Our Family Trip to San Diego California
Ever since I traveled abroad to Germany my drive for traveling and experiencing new places has only accelerated. There is just something so special about learning and seeing all the things travel has to offer. And something that I am extremely proud of is being able to experience travel with my little family (even on a budget). After a long Minnesota winter, my husband and I decided to take our son on a short vacation to the sunny west coast and visit San Diego, California for the first time.
What I Learned Traveling Abroad
It has been a fast 5 years since I traveled abroad for the first time to Germany. This exchange trip was such an incredible experience and I am so excited to be sharing a little bit about it. This first time traveling alone taught me so much about myself and really helped shape me into the person I am today.
