But those steps taken were a chance for me, being with my whole self. Through my exhausted legs, pained muscles, raging heartbeat and struggling to breathe, I learnt more about myself, more than I have ever known. The trip was 9 days long and I walked 124.7 kilometers through the mountains. The most important thing about this journey, however, wasn’t about reaching that final destination, but more about every step I took, the road in between, the nature that was embracing me, the route, the climate and the companions.
These series of photographs were taken during that trek. ‘Into the Mountains’ is the name of the series.
