I like to have room to breathe when I travel. For me, sharing a viewing platform with 50 other people doesnāt feel special; Iām trying to escape the seething mass of humanity, not meld with it.

Eliza and I headed out early, left the traffic and city behind for the mountains with our swimsuits and fly rods in tow.
