Mountains know secrets we need to learn. That it might take time, it might be hard, but if you just hold on long enough, you will find the strength to rise up ~ Tyler Knott #mountians #airplaneview #alaska #summer (at Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChIn2QvPROs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Don’t speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn’t know the difference. Words are energy and cast spells, that’s hey it’s called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life. What you are not changing, you are also choosing ~ Bruce Lee #roadtrip #solotrip #river #alaska #quote #inspire #highway1 (at Chickaloon, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgnZuOtP_g5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Every situation in life is temporary. So, when life is good make sure you enjoy and receive it fully. And when life is not so good, remember that it will not last forever and better days are on the way ~ Bruce Lee #glacier #roadtrip #solotrip #alaska #route1 #sunnyday #scenery (at Matanuska Glacier State Recreational Site) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgnYwAtP9Op/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And because of the darkness you will reach out a hand, not knowing for certain if someone else is even there, and your hands will meet, and neither of you will ever need to be alone again, and that’s all I know about love ~ The Sandman by Neil Gaiman #life #death #inspire #nature #skull #alaska (at Tok, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgQloEWLmsZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Somehow, in some ways, you keep moving your feet forward. You reach the finish line and come to a realization. You discover that your 100% effort was only a speck of the unlimited potential that’s within you, and it’s through your running shoes where this limitlessness is expressed ~ Michael D’Aulerio Finally made it to Alaska. I’ve been dreaming of coming here since I was a kid. I was probably around 7-8 years old, living in Lima, I’ve met a man from Spain who was riding his bicycle from Patagonia to Alaska. Before him, I have never heard of those places. They sounded magical, like a Disney movie. Those names got stock in the back of my mind. Don’t recall much of him, but I do remember his bicycle. It was like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I already had the passion for two wheels, but what he was doing was new to me. He was riding north heading in one direction, to not come back. That was mind blowing. Every time I would go out for a ride on my bicycle or motorcycle I would always come back home. I didn’t even occur to me that you can head in one direction. That got stuck in me. The plan of riding to Alaska originated from that concept. Driving north as far as I can. Another end of the world destination Finally arriving to Alaska, I felt incredibly happy. I felt accomplished, proud and humble. It also made me feel wanting more. It inspired me to keep exploring the world and reach places far from home and comfort But most importantly, coming here made my inner child smile #inspire #lifegoals #accomplishment #dream #wanderlust #solotrip #roadtrip #alaska #africatwin #africatwinadventuresports (at Alaska / Yukon Territory Border) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgQi-A6risU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat ~ Theodore Roosevelt #inspire #wanderlust #signpost #watsonlake #yukon (at Sign Post Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgNWa0OPDVB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun ~ Christopher McCandless #travel #roadtrip #solotrip #lake #bc #canada #panorama (at Kitwanga, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf7-f-Zr6Ie/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Home is people. Not a place. If you go back there after the people are gone, then all you can see is what is not there any more ~ Robin Hobb That’s exactly how I felt here. I wasn’t planning to come to Portland, nor to stay so long I was feeling down for the last couple of weeks feeling homesick. Missing my family and friends. But thanks to the company of you incredible people I felt like home. Came back to feeling great. Gain back my energy to go back to the road. And made lifetime friends Safe travels to all!

There is a place I go when life gets to static and civilization seems far from civil It is a place where they all know me and everyone is free Where I can sit in solitude and feel the earth’s energy Be at peace with everything around me Where I can hear the voices of animals A place where I can speak the secret language of trees ~ Emelia #river #nature #wanderlust #trip #hike #bc #canada (at Nairn Falls Provincial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfzyx7_vUQI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As long as I live, I’ll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sign. I’ll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I’ll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can ~ John Muir #waterfall #nature #river #power #hike #wanderlust (at Nairn Falls Provincial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfzxJnkPs40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In a world of constant change and streaming technology, I find solace in the forest where a tree remains a tree ~ Angie Welland-Crosby I find myself, yet again, thinking and re considering my life and my journey. It’s so easy to answer those questions here. Surrounded by nature and real beauty. Even though it is my first time on this roads, I have the strange feeling of dejavú. A familiar sense that I have been here before.
