Adventure didn’t always look wild—it just felt like motion. A trail leading somewhere unknown, a canyon echoing with wind, a stretch of road that made me pull over just to breathe it in. I remember standing at the edge of a cliff, heart steady and full, thinking, “This is what it means to be alive in the right way.”
What stayed with me were the in-between moments: boots laced tight at dawn, the sound of water under a swinging bridge, a deep exhale at the summit. I wandered through high deserts and mossy forests, mountain passes and river bends, and each time I returned, I felt taller somehow—like the land had reminded me how capable I was, and how small in the best possible way.
