Travel guides for the soul, not just the map
Travel has always been my way of coming home to myself. Each journey is a reminder to slow down, breathe deeply, and listen — to the land, to the people, and to the quiet shifts within.

Colombia was everything I didn’t expect — vibrant, soulful, and overflowing with life. I spent a month travelling from the high mountains of Bogotá to the cobbled streets of Barichara, through the coffee region, the Caribbean coast, and finally to the remote islands of San Andrés and Providencia.
