Kicking off 2025 with new experiences, new connections, and a whole lot of birds, I’d say it’s been a solid start to the year. My travel bucketlist has just been sitting around but I’m finally ready to brave these adventures on my own now ♡

wip update: underpainting is done, time to add in the colors 🎨
