"[For] six years, I juggled a freelance career and a growing passion for photography–I always loved travel. By 2018 I was miserable; I no longer enjoyed the work that had fueled me most of my adult life. My profession had been my cornerstone, and seemingly all of a sudden, I hated it."

"Since then, while it’s scary to begin a new life after 40, I’m much happier, and I’ve had some incredible experiences, and there’s more to come. Is it easy? Hell no. But I’m going to keep plugging away."

"It was perfect but pricey, so I held off. Two days later, after the bag haunted my dreams (You know how that is, right?) I bought it and have used it religiously for years."
