After an emotional low point, I set out alone on a self-redemption journey to Banff, Canada, facing -40°C. I celebrated my 21st birthday on the frozen Abraham Lake. Along the way, I endured extreme cold, got stuck in snow, yet witnessed rare moose, KP9 aurora, and icy pillars under the night sky. I realized life, like travel, is full of uncertainties, but every hardship shapes the scenery ahead. Because of passion, Photography has always been the light guiding me through darkness.
