ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Geil. But to many others I'm known Damien. First name: Damien, last name: Damien. I'm 27 years old and born & raised in sunny Southern California. There are many things I like to consider myself, but above all else I'm an aspiring creative: I love writing (usually based on my experiences) and photography (often inspired by my travels). I’m also an avid & lifelong reader, self-proclaimed international hummus connoisseur, obsessive coffee drinker, and backpacker. 

This site is a collection of photography and writing based on my experiences backpacking through Asia and South America, my time studying abroad in Amsterdam, and my life in California. I hope my photograph illuminates the way I saw the world at that moment and that time, and that my writing elucidates my thoughts and feelings through some of these experiences.
