It’s interesting to me how an old photo can instantly bring you back to a moment in time. Old thoughts, dreams, ideas and emotions don’t ever really disappear. They dissipate but stay with us, just under the surface, like sediment. I took this picture 5 years ago today, shortly after returning from almost a year of living and traveling in an old Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia. It was a remarkable time in my life and one that I am so honoured to have experienced. I take none of it for granted and feel so fulfilled by the execution of the adventure and all of the paths I was able to cross, not to mention everything I had to give up to achieve it. I was scared at the start. Wanted to turn back. But that eventually went away and was replaced with all the good stuff. ‘Leap and the net will appear’. It’s a fucking thing. If you don’t believe me then ‘authentically’ try it for yourself and hit me up down the road.
