Ciao L.A‪.‬

A memoir of a young girl on a journey through language, love, culture, art and the way it messes with the heart. At 21 years old, I got on a plane bound for Italy in a town I’d never heard of called Torino where I planned to spend the summer teaching English and taking photographs. Three years later I had built an incredible life for myself, creating, living, learning, loving while photographing and journaling about it all; Each page of intimate photographs and writing illustrate the romanticism and heartbreak, the self-deprecation and self-awareness that one goes through as they transition into being an adult. Throughout each page readers will feel as if they know this girl and some might even feel as though this could be their story- They could be this young person navigating the precipice of self-discovery.
