These are my raw, authentic stories in my travels that came from following a feeling, taking the long way, and listening closely to my heart. The mishaps and chaos. The happy moments and the teary ones. The local children who pulled me into their world without hesitation. The connections that had nothing to do with sightseeing and everything to do with being human.
Not every story ties up neatly. Some are messy. Some don’t make sense until later, but they’re real, they are mine, and they mattered. I hope they inspire you to follow your heart, wherever it leads.
