so[u]l li vi n g the span i sh dream
so[u]l along with four other companions, i ventured on a trip to six cities in spain; starting in malaga where we toured the andalucia. it didn’t take me too long to realise that this was the trip of a lifetime. we then ventured by car to seville, cordoba, granada and valencia, before making our way to the ultimate stop in barcelona by train. i have lived my spanish dreams.
‘sol’ in spanish means sun, which sums up the whole trip. i have never been happier to be in the sun and heat which complimented the whole journey and experience of spanish culture, spanish architecture and spanish soul. and so i translate my happiness in this compilation of photos from that summer 2014 trip with nothing but humble intention of sharing the chance i have been given and radiate that happiness to those who seek. i’m in my element and more ready than ever for opportunities to come.
