That’s how hard I fell for adventure. I went on a difficult backpacking trip that was way over what I was prepared for. Since then, I’ve hiked through the california sierras, wandered quiet cobblestone streets, and gotten lost (on purpose) more times than I can count.

After years of squeezing travel into weekends and vacation days, I finally decided to make exploration more than a hobby—it became a way of life. Now, I spend my days chasing new horizons and my evenings sharing those stories here.

As an engineer by education, I think systematically. You won’t find endless packing lists or debates about the best hikes or the best travel credit card on this blog. Instead, my focus is on the essence of adventure—the joy of discovery, the adventures big or small, and the moments that remind you how big and beautiful the world really is.

If what you read here sparks your own wanderlust, I hope you’ll keep following along. Whether you’re planning your first big trip or just daydreaming about the next one, there’s a whole world waiting to be explored—and I can’t wait to see where we end up next.
