Hiking

I have always been passionate about spending time in nature, and hiking has been my favorite way to experience its beauty. It wakes up my senses, grounds me, and instills in me a deep appreciation for silence—something that is sorely underrated in our society. As I do with most things I enjoy, I set goals for myself in this hobby. Although I have my hiking ambitions, I try to remain cognizant that this is about the journey, not the destination.
