Sometimes the most difficult circumstances are what bring you to exactly the place that you feel the most free, the most alive. And that is how this journey begins.

Everything around me was pushing me to move beyond how I was feeling... stuck. My rent soared. My dad and dogs moved into their next existence. Online work showed up. And then the US. What the hell happened there?

The universe had set me up just for this moment. Or maybe I did it knowing what feeds my existence. Exploring other cultures and stories. Visiting places that feel peaceful. Places that fill my spirit rather than drag it to the depths. After so many difficult years, it was time to feel something good. Everything in my life had shifted and pointed to now being the time. A long overdue journey to explore, live more simply, slow down and feel like I can breathe again.

So here are the words and photos to document this journey.

Starting in....

Germany.
