If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love the world, travel. 🌎

Being 96% mountainous and 71% forest, Bhutan cleared my lungs of the dust of India and Nepal. The people here are gentle, kind, and of course, they love nature. The respect the people have for the culture is refreshing, and it's clear that the government is genuinely trying to do right by its people and its land. There is a lot of long-term thinking and planning in what they do, and everyday life has a calmness and peace about it that tends to come from those that know the simplicity and harshness of the wild. Here, we don't rush time. Here, even the dogs admire the view. 🇧🇹

Where chillis get treated as vegetables - not as a condiment - and tourists are accepted with patience as their own. I have met some of the sweetest and most unassuming people in the last three weeks. At the end of my great Himalayan adventure, I’m so proud that I continue to chase my dreams and live with integrity to see and do the things that I was fascinated by as a little girl. From a photo in an encyclopedia, to right in front of my eyes. From the pages in a book, to my very own hands. Being here has been nothing short of magical.🛕

I always have a lot of feelings heading home from an adventure, no matter how big. But it's a privilege to be able to share these journeys with you; especially the things I have learned, and how it impacts me as a person. I hope you get as much out of it as I do. 🧘‍♀️

I have a million different identities, and they are all simultaneously true. But in the end the world keeps teaching me that if I can be anything, I only want to be kind. And that's enough. 💙
