5. "I am a firm believer that tattoos should represent what you stand for and believe in. That is precisely the reason why I've tattooed the word 'GO' on my forearm. It's a mantra, a moto, an inspiration – when life gets rough, when the day at work just doesn't seem to be coming to an end. I try to remind myself I'm doing it for a reason: to be able to travel in the future, to have the luxury of experiencing a bunch of 'firsts' and to not take daily things for granted."

📸: Madison Baillie – Canada
