ABOUT - CHASING LIGHT

Hey,

I am Inès, and I’m so glad you’re here,

What you’ll find here ? It’s a blog mixing my love for photography, storytelling along with curated trip itineraries from my adventures.

Through this little corner of the web, I hope to share my photography, stories, and itinerary tips — whether they inspire you go on your own adventure or simply let you travel a little through my words and images.

Welcome to my journey !

Since I was little,

Adventure has always been part of my story — hiking to waterfalls, water skiing, or skiing in the French Alps with my parents. But in 2022, I took my first solo trip to Costa Rica, and I truly felt this spark in me — this deep desire to explore the world on my own — see more of this amazing world, meet people, and live new adventures.

In 2024, I decided to mix this love for travel with another passion: photography. I don’t just love pretty landscapes — what moves me most is chasing light, emotions, and those little moments that tell a deeper story.

“If you never go, you’ll never know. Solo travel teaches you that you are never truly alone — the world is always waiting for you.”

Solo traveling isn’t just about being alone — it’s about truly discovering who you are when no one else is around. When I decided to go for my first solo travel it was much seen as a solitary quest and irresponsibility, but in reality, it was just one of the best choice I’ve ever made.

The road is filled with encounters: people from all over the word, carrying their own stories, beliefs, and dreams. You learn to see the world through different eyes and go through unexpected conversation, your own perspective expands. It opens your mind to the endless possibilities. It can sounds cliche but nothing is impossible and with enough courage and curiosity, everything can be reach.

How everything started ?

It all began pretty simply: a backpack, a camera, and a one-way flight to Costa Rica.

From there, I discovered how much I love traveling the world, exploring new cultures, and experiencing different ways of life. Along the way, I started sharing my photos, itineraries, and tips, hoping to inspire your next adventure—or at least give you a little escape. Honestly, I can’t wait to take you along on this journey!

Over time, planning my own trips taught me a lot about organization and travel planning. So, naturally, I wanted to share what I’ve learned with you. Here, you’ll find my itineraries, plus tips and advice to make your own adventures easier, more fun, and full of memories.
