Traveling across the United States reminded me just how much variety can live under one name. Every region felt like its own story—deserts that whispered, cities that pulsed, coastlines that healed. I remember thinking, “You don’t have to go far to feel like you’ve arrived somewhere completely new.”
What stayed with me was how personal each place felt. A diner conversation in the South. A foggy trail in the Pacific Northwest. The way light hit a brick wall in a New England town. These weren’t just trips—they were pages in a book I didn’t know I was writing until I looked back.
