In my mid twenties I moved to live on my own for the first time. Before that, life had automatically included other people. It no longer did, and that was hard for me. Learning to spend time by myself was an important part of becoming the man I am today, and I eventually found sides of myself that I now cherish. 

When you are alone, you let down your guard and your projected self eases away. You simply are, and that is enough. 

Most of the photographs are taken while traveling with my boyfriend, but I have chosen to focus on the silence in between the exploration and adventure. The time for reflection and processing what you have experienced.
