I’ve been thinking a lot about legacy. Questions that I’m often asked; why’re you doing this / what’s the purpose of the trip / is there a cause you’re raising money + awareness for? A difficult thing to answer as saying “because I can, because I want to, and nah” never seem to be as satisfying for them as it is for me.
Doing something just for yourself can be painted as selfish, but hey maybe it’s not always about some hugely significant greater good. Instead of focusing on leaving behind a physical legacy, such as a building or a monument, the aim should be on leaving behind a legacy of connection.
Support local businesses, volunteer your time when you can, and get involved in the community where it matters. Somewhat related: here’s a bunch of photos of things that used to be important a long time ago.
