Daughter honors memory of late father —
To cope with her grief after his death, New Yorker Jinna Yang took a life-sized cutout of her father on a trip he'd dreamed of making. The dad-daughter team posed for shots across Europe, including Gullfoss Waterfall in Iceland (pictured).

Iceland —
Yang says Iceland (pictured) was the most "life-changing" destination her. "The entire country seems like another planet sometimes," she says.

Eiffel Tower (Paris) —
Jay Kwon Yang died from stomach cancer in 2012. He'd always wanted to see Europe and Africa. He was just 52 when he died.

Louvre Museum (Paris) —
"I consider myself an artist, and when I set out on this mission I wanted to honor my father's memory and take beautiful photos," says Yang, who visited the Louvre (pictured) in Paris.

Colosseum (Rome) —
"I have a friend whose father helped me score the cutout so that it folded in and out," Yang says, here at Rome's Colosseum. "It became portable enough to carry around after I folded it up."

Duomo (Florence, Italy) —
"The only reason I work to follow my dreams is because I know that (my family) have worked their (butts) off to give me this opportunity," Yang wrote on her blog. "My father is one of the most selfless people I know, and to have him in my life is my greatest motivation."

Leaning Tower (Pisa, Italy) —
Yang says her father was a PGA-certified pro golfer, but couldn't go on tour because he had to raise her and her brother. The Leaning Tower of Pisa made a backdrop for one the duo's memorable photos.

Italian Riviera (Levanto, Italy) —
Dad and daughter made it all the way to the Italian Riviera at Levanto, Italy.

St. Paul's Cathedral (London) —
"Many people stopped me in the street, asking me if it was a famous person," says Yang, here at London's St. Paul's Cathedral.

Blue Lagoon (Iceland) —
Iceland's Blue Lagoon (pictured) proved theraputic for the grieving Yang. "I had talked about going backpacking through Europe, but when I started planning the trip, it gave me something to look forward to again. I discovered hope in my future again."
