Manny travels around as much as he can, however he can. It is usually through hitchhiking and public transportation, going where his heart takes him. He uses his camera to document and photograph the places he’s been, considering each new place a new step in his life away from his boring past and his old girlfriend— in other words… he’s a tourist on a finding-his-peace trip.
story
TLDR: Manny was born as Maria Chanthalangsy in Minnesota. Very quiet place. He realizes he’s not a girl at the young age of 5, but it takes until he’s 11 to convince his parents. He has a remarkably average life until he meets Kate Winters at 18. The two do everything together and are deeply in love, moreso on Manny's part.
However, for much of their relationship, Kate cheats on Manny, wanting more wealth and glamor. When Manny discovers this, she takes the condo they bought along with much of their valuables with her and kicks Manny out of their shared home.
Manny, with nothing else to do, uses his remaining money to finally be free of his boring life, traveling all over the world and seeing everything there is to see. He finally lands in California, where he meets Mako and some other new friends, and starts a new life all on his own, on his own accord.
