You are out in the middle of the Arabian Desert, standing on a huge rock that sits balanced atop a canyon. You look out across the horizon, a constant wind blowing against your face. You have travelled 30 days, thousands of miles, met dozens of people and have witnessed great things. Your legs hurt, your body is covered with sweat and dirt, and you have little money left in your pocket. But none of that bothers you, because you seek adventure and beauty. You seek something different, and the view that confronts you makes it all worth it. You are at peace, and you are truly home.
