Growing up, staying crazy.

Blue Bay, Mauritius

Ma vie pas mal.

Bumdra Trek, Bhutan

Sometimes I forget that I am standing amongst giants and on the shoulders of giants. In the past couple of days, I’ve learnt so much more and grown exponentially too. To be amongst the best of the best is nothing but a humbling experience. Hiking 3,900m in the Himalayas is nothing compared to the view at its peak and an encouraging rainbow along the way. 10 bottles of Zumzin wine is nothing compared to the insightful sharing and conversations of these giants. Sleeping in the comfiest bed in the base camp is nothing compared to the 2h chat in the tent when it is 5°C outside.

Sometimes when in doubt, have faith that the universe will always find a way. The process might not be easy, but it will always worth it. I’m deeply thankful for the opportunity to be with these amazing souls. Till we meet again – all around the world!

(@Isabelle – According to your wise wit Lisa, your ear lobes should be much longer 😉 Borrowed from Luis : you’re the Future 🌱
