We are two 17 girls from Atlanta, Georgia challenging the so-called “American Dream” of a ivy league education, white picket fence, and 9-5 job. We both live for photography, writing, and of course: travel.  Now when we say travel, we don’t mean lying on the beach at some resort in Florida, we mean language immersion, eating local food, living in hostels, and more. So instead of watching endless Damon and Jo YouTube videos (shoutout to our inspirations) and dying of boredom in all of our classes, this year we decided to turn our dreams into actions.
