Welcome
"Life is both fleeting and dangerous, and there is no point in denying yourself pleasure or being anything other than what you are." — Elizabeth Gilbert
Welcome to This Life Is To Wander.
Wandering— as far back as my memory takes me, I have yielded to its insatiable urge. Much like a moth to a flame, the delight of movement and discovery combined has always had a magnetic pull on me.
As a child, even the slightest possibility of exploring an unseen corner of this world, whether close to home or far away, filled me with immense excitement. Now, as an adult, my endless appetite to wander has evolved into an affinity for immersive travel— Travel that is focused on living and connecting to the places I visit.
In my world of wandering, the element of documenting the stories encountered along the way has become compulsory. Whether captured in a complex tangle of words scribbled on lined paper or by the delicate interplay of light and darkness through my camera lens, each is a tribute to my experiences with this world and my movements upon it. All of it is designed to inspire others to travel with their body or mind.
May the stories and photographs shared here encourage you to embark on wanders of your own,
