Australia
Chase the horizon with me.
Salt on your skin at 8am. A sky so wide it recalibrates your breath. Kangaroos crossing the road at dusk like they own the place (they do). Australia is the continent that decided geography could be a love language.
Outfit
Dress like you belong there
Linen button-down, cotton shorts, a brimmed hat (not optional). Reef-safe sunscreen. One swimsuit you actually like photos of.
