Global Regions

I’ve circled the globe 14 times, met thousands of people, and made hundreds of friends along the way. But the number of countries I’ve visited tells only part of the story—some places have drawn me back 30 or 40 times.

For me, travel is about more than reaching a destination. It’s about discovering cultures, learning from the people I meet, and embracing every part of the journey. To everyone I’ve crossed paths with and every story we’ve shared: thank you.
