In 2017, I had the incredible opportunity to live and work in the mountains of South Tyrol, Italy. During our free time, my friend Leah and I would hike through the nights to witness the sun rising slowly over the Dolomites’ peaks.

Mornings often began with a simple joy: savoring a cup of coffee while watching the mountains glow in shades of pink, orange, and red as the day unfolded.

At the time, I didn’t have my camera with me, and the photos I captured with my phone can’t truly replicate the experience. Yet, the memories remain vivid, and I want to share these moments from my life.

One day, I’ll return.
