Travel.

As I trekked through the ancient rainforests of Taman Negara in Malaysia, I was struck by the incredible biodiversity surrounding me. Towering trees draped in vines created a dense canopy overhead, while the forest floor teemed with life - colorful fungi, scampering mammals, and a kaleidoscope of butterflies. This was one of the oldest rainforests in the world, dating back over 130 million years.

As I wandered through the bustling night market in Kuala Lumpur, I was immediately enveloped by a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and smells. Vendors hawked sizzling satay skewers, woks crackling with fragrant char koay teow, and colorful stalls overflowing with fresh tropical fruits. The air was thick with the tantalizing aroma of spices and charcoal smoke.
