Today is World Tourism Day, a moment to pause and reflect on what travel really means.

For some, it’s visiting new places. For others, it’s the people you meet along the way. More and more of us are drawn to simpler ways of exploring: car camping, sleeping in the back of the car, building a DIY setup. It’s about freedom, slowing down, and being closer to nature without breaking the bank.

I’ve recently started to capture not just photos, but also sounds from my trips: waves, wind in the forest, voices of people I meet. Funny enough, it’s often the sound that brings me back most vividly to a place.

What about you, what’s your favorite memory from a trip? A moment, a sound, or a place that stays with you?
