Dangerous Travels

The first time I understood that a border could be louder than any gun, it was still daylight - heat pressing on my tongue, dust settling into my hair, and the road ahead pretending it was just another road. I carried a life in my pockets and a future in my chest, walking through checkpoints and back alleys where names were traded for silence and every promise had a price.This story follows the choices that were made for me and the ones I made anyway, step by step, breath by breath, until survival stopped being a plan and became a language. What happens when the route you trust turns dangerous, when help comes with hooks, and when the only map that matters is the one you draw with your own fear? In Dangerous Travels: An Immigrant's Journey, I tell you what it costs to keep moving - and what it takes to stay whole.
