November 2025
November 1 · Opening note. I’m grateful to have spent the last 20+ years traveling the world—living, learning, and growing through the lens of 92 countries and counting. From the quiet sunrise over a lake in Myanmar, to the vibrant streets of Cairo, to the stillness of a snow-covered trail in Yosemite, travel has been my classroom, my sanctuary, and my greatest adventure.
