CROSSING BORDERS ON FOOT: WHY WALKING BETWEEN COUNTRIES WAKES YOU UP

by Jake Rivera Mon at 12:30 PM

I just walked from one country into another without a single motorized vehicle. No flights, no buses, no shortcuts. Just my boots, my legs, and a border that suddenly appeared in front of me like a line drawn by a god with a ruler.Most people think travel means hitting destinations. You fly in, snap...
BURNING DAYLIGHT IN PLACES NOBODY TOLD YOU ABOUT

by Jake Rivera Mon at 11:00 AM

by Jake Rivera May 24

I showed up to this break in Northern California in October thinking my summer experience would carry me through. I was dead wrong. The moment I touched that 58-degree water, my entire body seized. M...
