THE STORY

It started with a gift.

It started with a gift.

When one of my closest friends was about to leave for her first solo trip, I wanted to give her something meaningful. I found a beautiful travel diary, but on its own, it felt empty.

After eight years of backpacking, I knew that the most important parts of a journey weren’t the places themselves. They were the moments in between: the doubts, the excitement, the people you meet, the questions you suddenly start asking yourself.

So I began creating a journal that could accompany someone through all of it.
