The face behind
Did the little girl inside you always dream of adventure, freedom, and the big wide world? Did she want to travel the world, visit tropical beaches, and gaze out over the endless expanse from the top of a mountain?
With tinvail.art, I want to bring that very feeling into your home. Tinvail.art is your window to boundless freedom, a reminder of your adventures, and a view of your haven of peace.
In 2019, I set out on my journey; I was in my early 30s and chasing my big dream. Armed with a camera, a cell phone camera, and a laptop, I headed out into the wide world, heading east. I wanted to explore new countries, get to know new cultures, and discover new foods. Always with the underlying thought: “To appreciate the little things in life, capture them, and share them with the world.”
I left my job at the daycare center behind, along with my apartment, my collection of decorative items, and memories of my old life. All I had left was a small backpack. Inspired by new experiences and driven by a thirst for adventure, I traveled through Southeast Asia and later Latin America.
The most intense period of my life was when I lived in a tent for six months and cycled nearly 5,000 miles from Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi. It was pure adventure and the ultimate freedom. I experienced the most breathtaking sunsets and the most impressive views. I saw wild animals, crossed forests and uninhabited areas, swam in rivers and lakes, washed myself at waterfalls, and simply felt the purity of life and my own being.

Inspired by this energy and the feeling of finding myself again, I also reoriented my career. I didn’t want to go back; not to the city where I used to live, and not to the career I’d trained for. Finally, I was able to open myself up to a new path with renewed strength and enthusiasm. I tried out many things I could do online and remotely. In doing so, I started from scratch. A lot of it was poorly paid. But with every assignment and every project, I learned something new.
At the same time, I wanted to keep traveling and collecting more beautiful moments. In Miami, I bought an old beat-up car and drove it all the way down to Panama. While I’d wanted to be alone in Southeast Asia to find myself, now was the time to open up. This time, I wanted to feel at home with as many people as possible and connect with new people. It was a wonderful and enriching experience. I met so many amazing, kind, and interesting people. I gained completely new insights and perspectives on the world.
In the meantime, I found myself in Europe. I moved into a camper van and explored places I hadn’t seen before. Little by little, I felt more and more grateful and fulfilled. A desire grew within me to share this feeling with others.
Now I’d like to share these impressions and this sense of fulfillment with you and bring them into your home. I want to remind you that everyone can follow their calling and has the opportunity to find themselves. Tinvail.art is for everyone who has a big dream and wants to pursue it.
I still find joy in the simple things in life, which is why I’ll never tire of photographing the full moon over the ocean, stopping by the side of the road to smell a flower, or watching an earthworm loosen up my potting soil. I continue to diligently collect photos meant to preserve that warm feeling inside me.
All my images are digital renderings of my photographs, which I’ve created and edited using various programs. Each image is crafted just for you after you place your order and delivered right to your home.
Follow your dream, too, because:
Dreaming starts with open eyes.
Yours, tinvail.art
