I spent a summer weekend in southern Texas at Sam Rayburn Reservoir, where my grandparents own a lake house. I’ve been coming to this place since I was very young, and I decided to document what could be one of my final weekends here with my family.

I spent a morning hiking and chasing waterfalls in Krka National Park near Split, Croatia.

I visited Athens, Greece, the birthplace of Western civilization, and was awed by the blend of ancient and modern cityscapes.

I hiked the 6.5-mile (10.5-kilometer) path from Oia to Fira across the island of Santorini, Greece, and was blown away by the unique landscape.

I visited the iconic Blue City on the Greek island of Santorini, during March - the slowest time of the year. Is Oia, Santorini worth visiting during off-season?

I journeyed to the Treasury in Petra, a wonder of the world in Jordan and learned the story behind the incredible architecture.

Wadi Rum, located a couple hours from Aqaba, Jordan, is one of the most beautiful and diverse deserts in the world. For a night and a day, I got the chance to explore all the desert has to show and experience local livelihoods in and around the desert.

While in Jordan, I got to visit the ancient site where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist. The site is located near the Jordan River and the border to Israel.

Discovering Jordan through its capitol city, Amman and the ancient Roman Citadel ruins.
