I’m a traveler by nature, moving through life with curiosity as my compass. Sometimes I follow the marked trail, but more often I’m drawn to the paths less worn—the ones that promise discovery. I’m not on the same mountain where I began, and the climb has been anything but ordinary.
I’ve never been fond of doing what’s expected or being told what to do, yet I value courtesy and connection. I hold doors, help when I can, and occasionally buy a stranger a drink. Along the way, people seem drawn to my energy and individuality, and those connections often lead to unexpected invitations and explorations.
I read, I learn, and I keep finding new ways both into and out of trouble. I move forward without fear of failure, celebrating success—however briefly—before the next ascent or descent. I’ve come close to both the top and the bottom, and much of my time is spent somewhere in between, riding the roller coaster and embracing the view.
