Patagonia. A tiny climber on a big wall in a huge landscape.

“I was always told I was a dreamer—like it was a bad thing. I couldn’t focus or pay attention in school; daydreaming was my weakness, and I was told it would be a hindrance in my life. But today, it seems that dreaming has become my superpower. In many ways, this book is about following those dreams.”
