No Experience Required

The engine kicks low and the ocean shifts from turquoise to cobalt as you climb the ragged lip of Aruba’s westpoint. Salt stings the air, the UTV’s suspension answers the rocky track with a satisfying clunk, and the California Lighthouse suddenly fills the hood mirror — a stone punctuation on a coastline that refuses to be gentle.
