Traveler's Statement: During the summer of 2013 I traveled around the Cape Verde Islands, the birth place of both of my parents, seeking the opportunity to learn about my roots. Cape Verdeans have an amazing ability to bond with anyone with whom they share blood, even if they have never met the person before. This level of acceptance mixed with a lack of familiarity with ones surroundings created an interesting sensation, that of being a tourist in ones own home. The photographs that I took during that trip, I hope, are a reflection of that feeling.
