Hello everyone,

Today I address you with indescribable emotion and a heart full of dreams. I am passionate about photography and adventures. Life behind the lens has led me to capture unique moments, but there is one experience that has been on my bucket list for years: traveling to Iceland to see and photograph the Northern Lights.

Iceland, with its surreal landscape and natural wonders, has been a destination that has always fascinated me. I have read countless stories about its majestic landscapes and of course, the magical northern lights that paint the sky with colors.

The northern lights are not just a natural phenomenon; They are also perceived as a dance of lights that has captured people's imagination for centuries. For a photographer, witnessing this celestial spectacle is a unique opportunity to capture the essence of nature in its purest and most magical form.

Since picking up my first camera, I have dreamed of venturing to remote places to capture images that tell stories and spark emotions in those who view them. The idea of ​​being in a place as iconic as Iceland, waiting patiently on a cold, clear night for the sky to light up with those hypnotizing greens and purples, fills me with a mix of excitement and joy.

Traveling to Iceland is not just about photography; It is an opportunity to connect with nature in a deep and meaningful way. I want to explore its glaciers and soak in its hot springs. Every corner of this country has a story to tell and a view that promises to take my breath away.

However, this endeavor requires a significant investment, and this is where I humbly ask for your support. The costs associated with the trip, including flights, accommodation, transportation, and the equipment needed to withstand the extreme cold, are a little high for me. I am determined to make this dream come true and bring you not only stunning photographs, but also stories and experiences that I can share with all of you.

Each donation, regardless of its size, will be an invaluable contribution to getting closer to this dream. I am sure that I will be able to share with you the adventures and challenges that I will encounter along the way.

I hope to share with you the magic of the Northern Lights and the wonders of this incredible country through my lens.
