The photo was taken on a plane on my flight from South Korea to America. Due to my parent's job, I moved to America. On my plane to America, I felt something I've never felt before; a sense of adventure. America is a place where you feel like you can do anything. There's Hollywood, the Rocky Mountains, Beverly Hills, Palm Springs, and that's just a tiny fraction of America. Just being here feels like a whole new adventure. It was an audacious move, putting a pause to my education in Korea and learning new things when others already had a seven year head start on me. But I feel like I can speak for anyone, including Koreans, who moved to America, when I say "It was worth it". On my flight, of course I felt nervous, of course I felt excited, of course I felt a little scared, but isn't that the point of an adventure?

I had an adventure in Los Angeles walking around and taking pictures of things I saw. I saw Angel’s Flight and I took a picture of it when it was going up.

An adventure can be many things from going on a walk to skydiving. However, the things we do not consider are the adventures we do not see. For example, the adventures that our pets take everyday. My cats are able to take a multitude of mini adventures everyday. So, the next time you think about an adventure, imagine the animal adventures we cannot see for ourselves.

This photo was taken in San Francisco, at a park near my grandmother's house that we always go to whenever we visit. This photo relates to adventure because every time we go there we are always surprised or fascinated by something there and the best adventures are full of surprises.

The Salton Sea is home to amazing bird life, art and the most beautiful sunrises in Southern California. There's a small town called Bombay Beach which has unique art installations upon the shore and in the water from artists all over the country. The early bird gets the worm if you are going to photograph this gorgeous town. Our adventure begins long before the sun rises as we chose the wardrobe for our photoshoot. This picture embraces the beauty of the sunrise and our welcoming a day of photography and endless adventures!

This photo was taken in our car on the ride home with our dog Aspen, who enjoys having her nose out the window. As I saw her looking out the window, I thought about her coming home from a long and crazy adventure - from the jungle like she was an explorer looking for a lost city that was missing for thousands of years.

This photo was taken during a photography field trip to Joshua Tree where students learned, in groups, how to take photos of stars using DSLR cameras placed on a tripod. Lots of laughing and frustrated students. But, most importantly, loads of good memories were made on this adventure to Joshua Tree.

Breathe in, breathe out. Trees are a source of oxygen and of life. When you walk into a forest or even a park, being surrounded by trees gives a feeling of stepping foot into a fairytale perhaps you'll find seven dwarfs, or even a talking rabbit worried about time, Trees are nature's playground for squirrels, birds, bugs, and even us. Wind is music to their leaves swaying back and forth. Trees are full of adventure.

I went on a trip to Gypsy Cove on the Falkland island. There, I saw a colony of Gentoo penguins resting on the sand dunes after a long day of fishing and adventure. In the photo, a fuzzy baby Gentoo penguin walks across the colony.

Many adventures happen in the backyard. It's a place where kids can feel like explorers, athletes, campers, etc. As a kid it is where some of the best adventures happen, and most people would love to share this experience with their furry companion. When I think of an adventure, I think of all times I played games like soccer with my cousins, and they would sometimes bring their pets.

Balancing yourself in life is not easy. Peace takes strength and determination. The photo is of a handball court, and the theme is depicted in my efforts to balance on a high wall. We test our limits when we go on an adventure and I thought this does a good job of showing that. Believe in yourself.

My adventure was a field trip exploring Los Angeles for art and architecture. We went to two art museums and went to the Angels Flight to have lunch in Grand Central Market. While exploring the museums, I found a nice structure of a balloon dog.
