life stories 📖
i adore collecting life stories - a tradition i started while traveling through the united kingdom in august 2024. armed with a friend, a camera, and a poor british accent, i conducted street interviews outside the rhodes house in oxford.
i had such an amazing time and heard such fascinating stories that now, whenever i meet someone new or find myself in an unfamiliar place, i ask people to share their tales!
some of these conversations have been recorded and can be found below :) enjoy!!
p.s. if you're interested in my life story, as well as the life stories of others not included in this collection of videos (after street interviews, i mainly switched to writing reflections on life stories since people are more open and comfortable just having a conversation than they would be on video), see my blog, which can be found on the page titled "scribbles" <3
TW: TERRIBLE BRITISH ACCENT (sophomore sophie was actually such a fever dream omg 😂)
life story #1
idk why i can't shut up in this interview 😭
"sophie's special sound effects" 💀
swiss resident, slovak descent, who finds meaning in music and in doing things that one enjoys.
life story #2
lovely israeli-american couple (recent college graduates) who find meaning in relationships and helping others. best advice for the future? "be open-minded, question your assumptions, be wary of becoming stuck in your ways."
life story #3
incredibly well-traveled british woman whose favorite memory is childhood holidays spent in cornwall. proud of the variety of her life. best advice for the future? "remember who you are, enjoy life to the full, whatever the circumstances of the future."
