This was one of the first international work trips that I went on. I was working in retail when I got invited to go on this trip in 2017. I worked at T-Mobile selling phones and was able to transfer out to Los Angeles from Texas to chase my dreams of being a full time photographer. My boss wouldn’t give me the time off because I was always asking for too much time off to do shoots that I was booking on the side. I always dreamed of traveling for work and didn’t want to pass up this opportunity, so I took a leap of faith and I quit my job so that I could go on this trip. Little did I know, this would be a monumental decision that would change my life forever.
