This is not Rome. This is El Jem, Tunisia 🇹🇳

Built around 238 AD, the Amphitheater of El Jem (الجم) is a massive colosseum constructed during the Roman Empire. It is the third largest Roman amphitheater in the world.

I’ve tried a lot of productivity hacks.

Most of them were forgotten within a week.

My Pomodoro timer by @minimal.desksetups was the one that stuck. As a student who struggles with maintaining focus, it’s helped me stay locked in when studying and editing, while also reminding me to take breaks to avoid burnout. 10/10 recommend.

Comment “DESK” and I’ll send over my full desk setup 🖥️

It’s National Airborne Day 🪂

Here’s a throwback to one of my favorite eras of my life so far.

When you’re in, you don’t think much of it. But when you’re out, reliving these moments through old photos and videos hits differently. Parts of your life that were once normal and repetitive become nothing but memories to look back on. I miss it frequently, but my knees thank me for moving on.

Details from Kyoto 🇯🇵

My first time in Japan was interesting. I didn’t shoot as much as I expected even though I carried a camera around with me everywhere. It was humid, busy, and exhausting, but nonetheless, one of my most memorable and favorite trips so far. I wanted to embrace the moments while they lasted, considering Japan is not just around the corner for me like the rest of Europe.

Kyoto was one of the places that allowed me to really slow down, get some shots I felt good about, while still living in the moment. These are some of the few photos I shot that I’m making the most of and will cherish as precious moments from my first trip to Japan ever.

The famous crash site in Iceland 🇮🇸

This is the wreckage of a U.S. Navy Douglas C-117D aircraft that crash-landed on the black sands of Sólheimasandur, Iceland, in 1973. The cause? The aircraft ran out of fuel — or so it was initially believed. Later reports suggest it may have been due to severe icing or pilot error.

Miraculously, everyone on board survived, and the plane was left behind, stripped and slowly worn by Icelandic wind and time (and tourists) 🇮🇸
