Troy Yohn – Curator

I think I’ve always had an adventurous spirit. I’ve always enjoyed exploring the unknown and pushing myself to new limits, but this time was different. It was my first trip outside of the United States, and as soon as I landed in Kathmandu, I knew I was in for an adventure. Not only were there vibrant colors and the sweet smell of incense, but there was also an actual elephant walking down the street untethered!

After spending a few days in Kathmandu, where I discovered cultural masks and other fascinating objects, I set out on a trek to Everest Base Camp. The journey was far from easy, but the stunning views of snow-capped peaks, deep valleys, and traditional Nepalese villages made it all worth it. I was blown away by the warmth and hospitality of the Nepalese people, who welcomed me with open arms and offered me tea and food along the way. This was when my passion for adventure, traveling, masks, and seeing the world truly ignited.

My adventures have taken me to some of the most breathtaking and remote corners of the globe. I've trekked through dense rainforests, sand surfed in Peru, scaled mountain peaks to find unexcavated ruins, and mountain biked down the "Death Road" in Bolivia. But for me, the true beauty of adventure lies not just in the adrenaline rush, but in the sense of connection and unity that comes from experiencing something truly awe-inspiring.

When I'm not out on some wild escapade, I'm usually planning my next one. I love seeing the beauty of the world around me. I'm also an avid writer, often using my adventures as inspiration for my books and articles. At the end of the day, I believe that life is all about creating memories and living in the moment. That's something I strive for every day.
