Finding Serenity: Breaking the Habit of Travel

Breaking the Habit overview

Exploration and adventure is as necessary to me as breathing. From the wild tundra of Alaska to the Badlands of the Mongolian steppe, I travel to satisfy a craving — for new landscapes, culture and the story of how the two inevitably entwine. But long periods away on expeditions take their toll. Every now and then, I know I have to put down my rucksack and cameras. But it’s easier said than done: for a mind that constantly seeks new frontiers, both creatively and geographically, stopping is a hard thing to do.
