Hi, I’m Belinda.

I help Photo Enthusiasts take better travel photos and create dream memories

Once an employee on a 5-day travel, 100-hour per week work schedule, I realized there was something more I wanted in life than a 6-digit salary. I decided to embark on a journey to do some soul searching, for my true self, and happiness!

Photography has been my best companion on this journey. It was more than a skill and passion. With each camera click, I was steps toward happiness and abundance.

15+ years and 10+ cameras later, I’m now a wife, and a mom of two young boys. I still have a camera in hand every day, chronicling our travel experiences across five continents, and counting…

When not traveling, I share my photography passion online, helping photo enthusiasts like you to take better travel photos, and create dream memories.
