The Long Way Around
A living record of the journeys that keep calling
I’m drawn to places that are hard to reach and impossible to forget — places where landscape, weather, and time still shape the human experience. This bucket list isn’t about ticking boxes; it’s about seeking moments of real immersion in a changing world.
Some journeys call for slow miles on foot, others for long days in a kayak or the steady rhythm of a bike. Whether I’m hiking high alpine trails, paddling remote coastlines, or riding along wild roads, each way of traveling offers a different way to listen to the land. What ties them together is the same goal: to move through the world with curiosity, effort, and respect for the places that still feel beautifully untamed.
This list will keep changing, just as I do. Some dreams will move closer, others will quietly fade, and a few will surprise me by becoming something I never expected. What stays constant is the pull toward places that demand effort, curiosity, and a willingness to be shaped by the journey.
Whether on foot, by bike, or across open water, these adventures are my way of staying connected to landscapes that still feel wild and alive — and of remembering why they’re worth protecting.
If you find yourself drawn to similar places, I hope this list sparks ideas for your own paths into the world. I’ll keep sharing the stories as they unfold.
Completed Adventures
So far, this wish list has more than lived up to its promise. Every journey has unfolded in its own way — shaped by weather, terrain, effort, and chance encounters — and each has left a lasting imprint on how I see the world. These aren’t just trips I’ve checked off; they’re experiences that continue to echo in memory long after the miles were behind me.
Coming Up (2026)
These are the journeys I’m actively shaping for 2026 — the ones that already live in my calendar, my training plans, and my daydreams. Each one offers a different way to move through the world, from high mountain trails to wind-swept roads and remote southern seas.
Long-term dreams
Some places stay with me long before I ever arrive. They sit just beyond the near-term plans — not because they matter less, but because they deserve time, space, and the right moment. These are the journeys that continue to call, shaping how I imagine the years ahead.
