Everyone has a passion, whether it involves biking the toughest roads or collecting Star Wars figurines. Mine is travel.

My love of travel has taken me far and wide. I have been thrown into a river by an elephant in Malaysia and attended a four-day traditional wedding in Sudan. I have swum with manatees in the United States and flown in a hot-air balloon over Turkey’s Cappadocia mountains. I have rafted down a 7 meter waterfall in New Zealand and hugged a kangaroo in Australia. Along the way, I have met people who taught me a lot about the world, and the more I learned, the more I realized how little I know.

And so my adventures continue. But as all those who are passionate about an activity will know, there is an irresistible temptation to measure and compare—be it the size of your collection or the speed records you break. Travel is no different.
