Start Here - Seeking The Now

Hi There!

I’m Liana

I’m an adventure travel photographer currently based in Maui, Hawaii!

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest I was introduced to the outdoors early on- family camping trips turned into hiking with friends, then lead me to backpacking and eventually brought me to climbing, mountaineering and now diving!

My hope is that with these guides you will be inspired to get out and experience this beautiful planet we live on!

Whether that means trekking through the mountains in Peru, diving deep into the ocean in Hawaii or exploring trails at home in Washington- I’m game for it all, and I hope you are too!

Thanks for being here 🙂
