Travel - Every adventure has its humble beginnings. I grew up in a small town on the rocky coast Of New England. Living near the water was always something that I appreciated, and because of that, I developed the idea that a person’s sense of belonging to a physical place is a sacred thing. During high school, marine science classes put me in tune with my immediate
surroundings, while self-conducted experiments like swimming in hurricanes educated me as to how powerful natural forces could be. Knowing that at any moment I could be swept away by the sea put things in perspective. When it came time to choose where I would go after high school
, being near the water was of the utmost importance. The coast was the backdrop for my childhood and the place where I was first introduced to the idea of adventures.
