My Love for Mountains and Cold Places

There’s something profoundly calming about the cold that draws me in. I love the feeling of the brisk, fresh air against my skin, the way it clears my mind and energizes my spirit.

I’m drawn to the beauty of winter landscapes—the way the snow blankets everything in a quiet hush, the way the world seems to slow down and invite introspection. Of course it can get really cold, and just to let it out there, I am so not a trek person, but, I’ve always felt more at home in the chill of winter than in the heat of summer.
