Three years ago I stood in Alaska — one of the most wild, breathtaking places I have ever been — and I came home without seeing a single wild bear. 🐻
Not one.
The only bears I saw on that whole trip were in a sanctuary, and as magical as that was in its own way, I won’t lie… a little part of me was gutted.
Bears are my absolute favourite animal. They always have been. There’s something about them that just gets me — that raw, powerful, quiet wildness. I’d dreamed of Alaska for so long, and I left with that one small ache still sitting in my chest.
I never quite let it go.
And TODAY… I’m heading to Finland. 🌲
This year has already been one of the most extraordinary of my life — moments I genuinely dreamed of that have actually come true, one by one. My book. My workshops. The Photography show. Things I once only hoped for quietly.
And now this. Another dream, dusted off and packed into a suitcase.
I don’t know what Finland will bring. Maybe I’ll finally get lucky. Maybe the forest will have other ideas. But I’m going with an open heart and everything crossed — and honestly, just being there feels like enough. 🤍
Here’s to wild places and second chances. 🐾
