443 Days Around the World is the documentation of my travels through 30+ countries around the world from September 4, 2012 to November 20, 2013. Through daily one-minute videos, photography essays, journal entries, and even budget reports, the project as a whole explores the concept of 'identity' as we navigated in and out of cultures vastly different from our own, ‘home’ as we found ourselves without one – unless you counted our backpacks, and ‘connection’ as we fostered our relationship to one another, as well as friends and strangers we met while traveling.
While my intentions with this trip (and corresponding project) were to see the world - to do as much as I could from standing in front of the Taj Mahal to climbing up Machu Picchu - not every day was as adventure filled. This project documented the mundane (entire days spent in bed sick with 'Deli-belly') as much as the exciting ones.
