Physical Seeker

The body needs challenge. Terrain is the point.

Travel that doesn’t test you physically isn’t quite travel for you. You measure a trip in elevation gained, distance covered, and honest tiredness at the end of a hard day. The view matters more when you earned it on foot. Comfort is fine — but it was never the goal.
