In July of 2023 I left my job and decided to travel cross country from Chicago to San Diego alone on my 2014 Honda CBR. I could never have imagined the adventures, adversities, beauty, and new friends I saw and made along the way. The freedom of driving into an endless horizon, chasing sunsets, not knowing where you will camp for the night is an intangible feeling I have never felt before. I do my best to capture the trip but the videos do little justice of the experiences I had. Driving through the storms of Nebraska and sleeping wet for days. Waking with the sun and jumping in the cool clear waters of Colorado to bathe. Traversing the hot desert of the Moab and praying for a gas station around the next bend. Cruising through Zion National Park and hiking Angels Landing. Hotsprings, showering in storms, feeling so alone one moment and then so connected meeting life long friends the next. Join me as I learn about myself and the world in this adventure of a lifetime. Tristan Schuld
