Hi. I'm Tessa.

Tessa Bradford

And this is where all my memories end up.[spacer height="20px"]

The culture, the people, the food, those moments that make you want to pull your hair and the ones that make you laugh till your gut aches.[spacer height="20px"]

These are the stories and photos that I've collected over the last five years.[spacer height="20px"]
