@joannehollings & I traveled to Mount Cook to celebrate my 26th birthday back in March 2021. We were blessed with the most perfect weekend of weather. We spent our days hiking and nights chasing auroras. We wobbled around Mount Cook village with our post Mueller legs, picnicked next to ice-berg lakes & ate cake on top of a mountain.

The sun slowly came up and my age grew older. As the mountains rumbled and roared with avalanches surrounding us, we sat there speechless, humbled, breathless, inspired. The mountains do that to you. They change you. Always for the better, never for the worse. Pinch me, I think I'm still dreaming.
