Dominic's Life Calling For Adventure Jun 20, 2023

Dominic has been in a serene place of contentment in his photography career for years, until one day inspiration to explore wraps him up tightly, and a coincidental notice to move out of his apartment leaves him with almost no choice but to seize the opportunity.
