My first solo trip abroad begins in 2012
These photos will describe my experience a lot more than I could ever do in words. Instagram may not favor my un-edited images and it may be too late to post them there now, but here, I can do whatever! If you’d like to learn more about what I have discovered around the world then stick around 😉

Golden Gate Bridge
The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art. Completely rebuilt from 1964 to 1974, it is one of only a few surviving structures from the Exposition.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
