[Editor’s note: One night in 2014, while scrolling through Instagram, Ross Borden and I conceived the phrase ‘travelstoke’. It described that feeling of being so immersed in your travels that everything else drops away. Travelstoke is total 100% presence in the moment, the terrain, the culture, the flow, the radically dreamlike quality of life that reveals itself when you’re somewhere unexpected–and often far out of your comfort zone. ]
