Hi! My name is Massiah (mah-see-ah) and I’m a student/writer and photographer, based in London. My interest in travel stemmed from an early age as I grew up and lived in three different countries. My love for travel is ignited by the possibility of losing or finding oneself in a new experience. Ethiopia is my birthplace and although I had previously lived there for six years, there came a point where I felt like I hadn’t seen enough of the country. Coming across other travel enthusiasts who were not even Ethiopian, yet had been to Ethiopia and seen so much more than I had was embarrassing at times, haha - though inspiring, nonetheless. I resolved that every time I went back home I would explore a little more than just the capital. Planning wasn’t so difficult for me since I am originally from there and I speak the local dialect, Amharic. 

Hey there, my name is Gemma Cagnacci. I live in Sydney, Australia and am a textile designer specialising in home textiles. However, travelling is my other big passion, and one that I love to visually document and capture with my camera. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is about travel that I love, but I think it's a mix of experiencing somewhere new, a sense of adventure, being out of my comfort zone and making new friends along the way. I am absolutely hooked and am always planning the next trip (or two). When traveling, I find that I tend to notice and remember many more details than I might normally, as my aim is to try and capture as many of the senses as possible through my photos. I love to photograph the textures, colours, smells, tastes and atmosphere of where I am and try to communicate those elements. 

Hi, I’m Ryan Eccleston and I am a Photographer/Artist. Because of my father’s occupation, my family was pretty nomadic, so I travelled frequently growing up. I was born in Jamaica, but spent the first 8 years of my life living and travelling throughout the Middle East. Growing up like this really nurtured my curiosity about life, because for me, traveling is the biggest classroom. You never stop learning. You are able to see that we are all so different and unique. While each culture brings its own flavour to life, at the root we all have the same ambitions, fears, and joys. As I continue to travel, the more I learn; and the more I learn, the more I realize I don’t always have the answer. And I’m fine with that because it’s a beautiful thing! Photography has influenced the way I travel in many ways, especially as I get older. I look at things keenly and try to soak up the moment since I am not a native in most of the places I find myself. Photographs are a receipt that I was here or there. Many people don’t get the opportunity to travel, so I am aware how truly blessed I am with this gift.
