Islands always felt like a world within a world—edges softened by tide, time marked by light. Some were wild and windswept, others slow and sun-warmed, but they all carried the same hush: a sense that life moved differently here. I remember stepping off a ferry, the air thick with salt and stillness, and thinking, “This is where I remember how to breathe.”
What stayed with me were the textures: the flicker of palm shadows on worn paths, the sound of roosters echoing through a quiet morning, fresh fruit eaten barefoot on a shaded porch. I wandered through volcanic landscapes, whitewashed villages, emerald hillsides, and quiet harbors—and each island gave something different, but all left me feeling held, unrushed, and gently reset.
