![]()
For years, I wandered across countries, through unfamiliar streets, and deep into the landscapes of my own becoming. Travel shaped me, stripping away expectations and allowing me to discover who I was beyond the narratives I had inherited.

Through the transformative power of creativity, illness, and self-inquiry, I came to understand that healing is an actual return to ourselves. This reflection explores the moments that shaped me: the clarity found on a quiet balcony in Hanoi, the ability to adapt, learned from illness, and the presence demanded by both adventure and stillness. Join me in exploring what it means to rewild the spirit, to embrace life with intention, creativity, and a deep connection to self.
