Armenia

I found myself taking a picture with every corner I turned, trying any way possible to bring the beauty of Armenia back with me. With every new location, I found myself smiling as I stared at the amazing view. It didn't matter if we were headed to an ancient destination or if we were on the road there, it was all breathtaking. 

The mountains seemed to tower over us as they reached for the white clouds. The cows and sheep grazed, surrounded by bright purple, pink, yellow, and white wild flowers. The green pastures and golden fields swayed with the wind. The blue streams and rivers seemed to be endless. I couldn't believe my eyes. "Hayastan" was something out of a dream.

Something new! I decided on this trip that I would take short videos on my phone, so by the end of my trip I would have something to put together. I wasn't able to upload a higher resolution video so it might be best you don't make it bigger (it's very grainy). I've uploaded a higher resolution video to YouTube so it might be best you view it there!

My friend Erika and I took a short trip to Los Angeles winter break of our sophomore year in college. We tried to cover as much as we could in the span of one week. I did't really get to take as many pics as I wanted, because it's always hard when traveling to carry a huge camera around everywhere you go. The last couple of pictures are actually from my iPhone. 

I think the video covers a different aspect of the trip, so enjoy!
