Marissa has been a travel writer and photographer since 2012, focusing on outdoor landscapes and scenery from around the world. It began when she studied abroad in college in the United Kingdom and was dazzled by the intercultural differences and similarities. Her eyes opened up to the vast amount of opportunities around the world and the beauty that can be seen all over the globe.

She also realized that sometimes we forget to look closely at the details. Whether it's the color palate that spreads across the sky as the sun climbs above the horizon, or the leaves that are gracefully scattered across the green grass beneath the sycamore tree, noticing the little things is what makes landscapes that much more majestic.

Marissa's writing and photography ultimately focuses on appreciating the little things in life, and she hopes that it serves as inspiration for you to go out and explore, whether you are half way across the world or right in your own hometown.
