“Every now and then something comes along that just absolutely changes the trajectory of your life. For me, this has always come in one of two ways: a new teacher who guides me and lifts up my work into a new space, or a trip that reaches down into my person and reminds me just how beautiful the world is. Trust and Travel does both of those things at once.”
