I thought we went here for the view.

Now I think we went because it’s one of the few places that doesn’t demand anything.

No notifications.
No deadlines.

Just the sound of waves and standing in front of something so vast that makes your own problems feel a little smaller.

Modern life rewards speed. Time in the forest rewards presence.

How to be still.
How to listen.
How to exist without constantly proving something.

Some deserts crossed.
Some forests wandered.
Some mountains climbed.

Maybe it all happened.
Maybe it was just a dream.

Either way, I’ll carry the feeling forever

The desert doesn’t just test your survival…

it strips away everything unnecessary until you meet the rawest version of yourself

A walk among giants… 🌲

Throwback to wandering through the ancient sequoias of Sequoia National Park — trees that have stood for thousands of years.

Between 2015–2024, wildfires burned through over 85% of the park’s giant sequoia groves, causing unprecedented loss.

A reminder that even the strongest things in nature aren’t invincible.

Leave no trace. Protect what’s left.

Since The Louvre has been in the news the last couple of weeks it reminded me of our trip to Paris. Here’s a trip down memory lane and post cards from Paris and The Louvre museum 🇫🇷
