03Beyond the desk

Some things are built in a server rack. Others are found out there.

Not everything happens at a desk. Traveling, seeing other places and cultures, road trips, overlanding and camping. Some of my favorite days are spent somewhere new, usually with a bit of gear along for the ride.
