Seeing the world with loved ones or meeting like-minded travelers are the best rewards.

I like nature the most, especially the mountains and lakes in Latin America. I’ve been to Patagonia on both the Chilean and Argentinean sides. The hiking and camping there are wonderful. The South Island of New Zealand is epic, too. Driving a camper van and wondering around the island is the most beautiful. Iceland has amazing glacier, though the food is so-so. Switzerland is amazing. My girlfriend and I had the most amazing time there in Interlaken. I’ve formed some of the most authentic friendships traveling, and with them I have the freedom to be and to act. Seeing the world has given me a lot of optimism and inspires wonder in me. It reminds me that the real world is much vaster than the world in my head, and I need to constantly explore and search for new knowledge and connection. Ultimately, the journey is the reward.
