A few days of pure joy, happiness and being in the present moment 🧘🏼‍♂️

For this adventure, I only took my @fujifilm_ch X100VI, it’s light, and I find it rewarding to shoot with just a fixed lens. Happy with how the pics turned out 🙌🏼

i used to care a lot about what people would think of me, and it kept me from doing the things i actually wanted to do. everything i wanted came back to one thing: turning what i love into my job, and that meant letting go of that, doing things people might call cringe, not caring how it looked from the outside. i’m grateful for everything that’s happened lately, and none of it would’ve been possible without the people who stuck around and trusted the process, thank you for that. if this post pushes even one of you to chase what you actually want, that’d make my day :)

inspired by a post from @joselyn.hana who shared similar struggles, and I felt like I needed to share mines to you guys as well. She’s an amazing creator, go check her out 🙌🏼

Sun’s out there. So are we.

The good days are back! Headed out for a full day in the Swiss Prealps, two summits, technical trail, lots of sun. There’s always another spot to discover out here and that one was for the books

Never just a hike @thenorthface #tnfambassador [ad]
