So here we are at the end of another year. The end of a decade. And holy moly it’s been such a wild ride. And I’m here to share some of the best moments from 2019, but I can’t help but first have a precursor.

I highly doubt anything could have prepared me for the undenying vastness and beauty that is the Sahara Desert. I knew it was big. I’ve seen video footage and photos of it all my life…but standing at the foot of a sea of rolling hilled sand dunes where some rose to the height of a skyscraper…for the first 30-minutes or so I didn’t even bring out my camera. I just had to take it all in.
