It all began 25 years ago, with one international trip that sparked a lifelong obsession. Since then, I’ve stepped foot on six of the seven continents, chasing sunsets and stories across Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.
I’ve stood in awe before the Great Pyramid of Giza, sailed down the Nile, toasted to New Year’s in both Barcelona and Sydney, walked the Great Wall of China, climbed the Leaning Tower of Pisa, floated through Venice to the sound of a serenade, marveled at the Grand Canyon’s glow, and captured the northern lights dancing over Reykjavik.
What started as a quest to see the world’s wonders has grown into something deeper. Now I travel not just to check off landmarks, but to feel the pulse of a place, to discover whether it’s as captivating in person as the images that once drew me in.
This journal is a celebration of those journeys, past and present, and those still to come. A space to remember, reflect, and reimagine the way I move through the world.
Here’s to the places that changed me, the stories still unfolding, and the magic that only travel can offer, eyes wide open.
