“Smile, breathe, and go slowly.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh

 
 

I’m attempting to adventure peacefully—to travel and live in a way that supports a peaceful climate.  It’s meaningful.  It’s sustainable.  It’s imperfect.  So I lean on gratitude.  This includes gratitude for the Indigenous, peaceful nations, and for bypassing those who harm.  Because everyone deserves peace. | XO, Kristen
