I am Idee. I come from the village of Zermatt nestled in the Swiss Alps. The air here is crisp and clean and often shrouded in fog which makes it difficult to navigate especially if you're not familiar with the terrain. But that's what makes it so beautiful - a challenge for those who dare to venture into its grandeur.

As I stand before you, you can't help but notice my long legs and slender physique - a result of years of hiking in these mountains. My blonde hair is tied back in a ponytail as we make our way up the trail. The rucksack on my back holds all that's necessary for this expedition: water, snacks, first aid kit...the essentials.

But what you may not notice is the pain I'm feeling right now. A sharp ache radiates from my left ankle which has been injured from a fall earlier today. The cold seeps into my bones as I navigate through the fog. Tears well up in my eyes as I search for shelter, any place where I can rest and tend to my wound.
