S. Francis Burns is a father and storyteller living in the Pacific Northwest, whose journeys across some of the most remote corners of the world have led him closer to home. From the deserts of Patagonia to the mountaintops of Bhutan, from horse treks and ocean crossings to late-night airport floors and quiet family rituals, Burns has chased questions of risk, belonging, and what it means to live with heart.
