In northern Pakistan, during a fifteen-hour drive through endless valleys, I peer out the jeep window and catch a glimpse of a shared journey: a mule slowly advancing with its daily load and a motorcyclist hurtling toward an unknown destination. On this dusty road suspended between majestic mountains and green fields, every step and every wheel tells a different story, yet part of the same long journey that unites those who travel and those who traverse these remote valleys.
