Empower the Nature Explorer in you

By Husain Khambaty – Cape Schanck

One of the brilliant gifts this world gives us is the ability to explore the land. In today’s fast-paced and digitally dominated world, where screens have become our constant companions, it’s more important than ever to reconnect with the great outdoors. Hiking in nature is not just a leisurely activity; it’s a powerful tool for nurturing both mental and physical health, especially for today’s youth.

One Lifetime is Not Enough

Has anyone ever thought that there are so many things to do and so less time to accomplish them all? Being a techy and with technology changing every second, there is so much to learn and keep learning that surely one lifetime isn’t enough. But out of my little techy world exists an even more huge world that is yet to be discovered and explored, things that need to be done, places to be visited, people to be met, words to be spoken, emotions to be expressed, feelings to be felt, passions to be fought for, food to be eaten… endless list I must say.
