Hello,

My name is Christina and I am 24 years old. A little about me! I am a photographer who specializes in making people smile and feel great about themselves! I have been doing this for the last 4 years now and truly have enjoyed it. My story began when I was 17 years old. I was living on my own, working my butt off, and just thriving to surive in a big city full of dreams. As a creative not having any room to create while working a job just to survive, it really  depressed me deeply. I needed to find a different outlet and thankfully one Christmas a family member gave me a camera and ever since then I haven't been able to let it go, even at times when I wanted to. That is how I know this is supposed to be apart of my path! 

What do I plan on doing for my funded travel? 
Prodiving smiles and art for people around the states! No charging them, just collaborations and a chance to create! Because of Covid and lack of work last year I was not able to use all the money that took me time to save and use it towards seeing new things in life. It went towards bills, my pets, and helping my family and friends. You see,  I have never really been able to leave this city and meet new people. I was hoping to do this last year, but unfortunately that was not possible I think for many. I am thankful and blessed, but to be honest I have never ( deeper story, but I like to focus more on the positive )  had it easy and it would be really nice to just go on this journey, capture creative things,  and come back refreshed and pay this due foward to other creatives. I don't expect the world and to see all 50 states, it's just a  goal to see something in life! If I can see something in this world to expand my mind that would be a dream come true.

Whoever helps me with this will not be in vein! I will be providing a free canvas print of your choice  to any donaters and if you're ever in my hometown a professional picture on me! As mentioned I truly belive in paying the dream forward, so when it is my turn next to do something supportive I will support the next creative artist on there journey as well. I truly belive creatives need an outlet to keep happy in life for their mental health. I am a strong beliver and supporter of Mental Health Awareness and if anyone knows me personally then they know my  is strong on this topic. While traveling I also hope to do volunteering around the states for animals, art, and charities!

Thank you so much for making this possible! 

Sincerely,
Stina


P.S
To explain my asking price in more detail I definitely plan on traveling mainly by car to keep things as afforadle as possible. Some places that are farther from me I will fly to, but everything will mainly be  getting there on my own and with your help!  I'll be working my butt off to provide for this adventure as well. I have created donar rewards for this located on the right for you to check out! That is my way of not asking, but trying to work for this adventure as well. :) Once again, thank you for making this possible.
