Arizona Cactus Garden

Arizona Cactus Garden is one of my little hidden gems. It’s tucked away in the heart of the Bay Area, right inside Stanford University.

There’s something about it that doesn’t feel like here. It feels like you’ve stepped somewhere far away, like Arizona. Most people don’t believe these photos were taken here. They assume I was traveling with my daughter.

I think that's why I keep finding myself drawn to places like this. A small escape. A quiet change. A reminder that even when life feels full and busy, there's still room to feel far away.

A way to travel without going anywhere at all.
