“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust

As of the end of 2025, I have been fortunate enough to have traveled to 38 countries across 7 continents. Having grown up in a small town in New Hampshire, travel has humbled me, opened my mind to new ways of life, and has shown me the beauty the world has to offer. I have also seen the “dark” sides of travel, including how social media is ruining the awe of various destinations (I’m no longer on social media as a protest to this!), environmental destruction, and when travelers use their experiences not as a means to connect, but rather divide us all. Despite these negative aspects, I chose to travel more intentionally, as a means to connect with others and to discover what’s truly important in life. I travel to finally feel connected, a sense of belonging, and to come home to both myself and the world around me.
