Miles, Meals, Mishaps, Meaning

We watch the horizons change, dust endlessly swirling, and realize: this life doesn’t fit back in a box, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Miles to move, meals to share, mishaps to survive, and meaning to find — it’s a joy ride, and we’re riding it wide‑eyed, grateful, and completely alive.

Some places don’t speak—they resonate. You feel it in your breath, your bones, your nervous system. This isn’t about tourist maps or trail guides.
