At Home, I'm myself

My girlfriend had never looked so much at peace until we took our first adventure together. Out into the rural areas of the Eastern Cape where she embraced everything it had to offer all at once. Having had many fights, arguments, and tense moments. This image represents the huge impact on our relationship this trip was able to have.
