Travelling

Escaping from everyday boundaries is enriching because it opens us to different cultures, philosophies and visions of the world, and it dissolves prejudices. Curiosity is my driving force as a traveller because I like to know. I want to know the colour of glasses that other people use to see the colours of life.
