Life changes, sometimes in ways we never saw coming. Loss, transition, or the quiet shifting of seasons can leave us standing at a crossroads, unsure of which way to turn. For me, travel has always been more than just seeing new places — it has become a way of understanding my own path forward. […]
Let’s have an honest conversation about mental health—without shame, without judgment, without unsolicited advice. After a life-altering change, whether it’s grief, trauma, or transition, many of us face the quiet companions of anxiety and depression. They creep in when the noise fades. They wake us at 3am.
