Hey there! My name is Cristina, nice to meet you. So, I'm 30 years old now, but let's just say I've had my fair share of experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today.

I grew up in a small town surrounded by mountains and forests - it was like living in a postcard all the time! My parents were hippies who loved to travel and explore new places. They'd often take me on these amazing adventures when I was a kid, teaching me about nature, conservation, and how to live off the land.

As a result, I developed this deep connection with the outdoors and a passion for photography - capturing those breathtaking moments in life through my lens has always been therapeutic for me.

Growing up, I used to explore the woods behind our house all day long, playing with wild animals, climbing trees, and getting into all sorts of mischief. My parents would often come looking for me, laughing about how I'd somehow managed to get even more covered in dirt than before! It was such a magical time.

Anyway... after high school, I decided to pursue photography full-time, traveling the world, capturing stories, and learning new skills along the way. And that's when everything started to unravel...

I got lost in the depths of a jungle, stranded with no phone signal, surrounded by venomous snakes and spiky plants - it was pure madness! But as terrifying as it felt at first, I learned so much about myself: resilience, adaptability, self-reliance... all those qualities that now make me who I am today.

After that wild adventure (pun intended), I returned home to my parents' farm where we grew up. We'd built a sustainable homestead there, powered by solar panels and wind turbines - it's truly a haven on earth!

It was during this time that I realized I had a knack for building relationships with people from all walks of life. I began teaching photography workshops to travelers passing through our neck of the woods, sharing my skills with anyone who wanted to learn.

That's where you come in! What brings you here today? Want to talk about photography or perhaps explore some new adventures together?
