What We Carry Home
I’ve always believed that a change in location can be just the shift in perspective we need to come home to ourselves.
That’s why I’m so passionate about creating spaces for intentional travel—experiences that invite us to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with what matters most. When we step outside our routines and into somewhere new, we soften. We listen more closely. We open. And in that opening, something beautiful happens: connection—to ourselves, to others, to the moment—has room to unfold.
And science backs this up.
In the longest-running study on human happiness—the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which has followed participants for over 85 years—researchers found that the single greatest predictor of long-term well-being isn’t wealth, success, or material comfort. It's a meaningful relationship. The people we laugh with. The ones who see us clearly. The moments of real presence and shared experience.
What I’ve seen again and again is that travel naturally sets the stage for those connections to bloom. When we shift our surroundings, we’re more present. More curious. Less guarded. We leave space for spontaneity, for depth, for the kind of conversations and laughter that stay with us long after the trip is over.
The things we buy live outside of us. But these moments—these felt, shared, lived experiences—sink in deep. They shape us. They sustain us.
We are the sum total of our experiences, not our things.
So let’s keep choosing what expands us. Let’s keep making space for presence, connection, and meaning.
And let’s go—together.
