Reflections of a nomad

One of the things that I remember most about my childhood is the constant piles of boxes I always felt surrounded by. I could never escape the continuous packing and unpacking that seemed to follow me wherever I went.

In my 'outdoors enthusiast' era

Maybe it’s the mental bucket list of my last semester that has inspired me to revisit my relationship with the great outdoors of Berkeley or the daily fitness reminder rooting for me to finish my daily average of walking five miles — but ​​there’s something refreshing about stepping into nature, feeling the crunch of gravel beneath my beaten Reeboks and inhaling the crisp, fresh air.
