The Year of April
chasing shadows and sipping lattes
People often tell me, ‘You’re so brave to travel solo.’ I usually just give them a puzzled look and shrug, because to me, it’s never felt like ‘bravery’—it’s more like ‘breathing.’
Traveling, exploring new places, and discovering the world has always been in my nature. My mom will even tell you that I was born with a curious spirit—after all, I started walking at just 9 months old! From a young age, I knew there was so much out there to see and experience.
