In my favourite movie Up, the main character Carl keeps an Adventure Book, a place to collect memories that make life exciting. I've been building mine my whole life, except instead of photos of balloon houses, mine is filled with postcards from all over the world. I have been lucky enough to travel from a young age and ever since then I've been hooked. New places, new people, new flavours—I love it all! I am happiest when I'm out of my comfort zone, whether that's staying in a budget-friendly hostel or deciding that hopping on a paramotor in rural Laos sounds like a great idea. To me, travel is about the stories, getting lost down random side streets, making small detours that turn into the best parts of the day, and collecting memories that eventually become postcards in my Adventure Book. Basically, if there's an adventure to be had, I'm probably already packing for it.
