BC Trip 2022: Interior

Last year was going to be the year, but there were still too many restrictions on, so it was this year that my best friend came over for another of our crazy travel adventures. Ever since he caught a glimpse of BC in 2018, he’d been wanting more, and I’d been wanting to show him, so here we are!

Some of these pictures are from his camera; some are from my new phone (and a couple are from his phone). I really like having a panorama function now! Choosing pictures was really really hard though! (for the full unlabelled photo experience click here) Continue reading
