What Skiing In The Alps Has Taught Me About Feeling Truly Alive

Before we jump in, I have an important thought provoking question: Have you ever had the desire to go somewhere but nobody else is available or wants to go with you? Here's my advice: when you get the urge to leave, you just have to go. Yes, it might be incredibly uncomfortable at first. It is a strange feeling when that first step into the airport you feel like you should know like the back of your hand (considering how many times you've been there before) makes it feel bra
