"The world is beautiful, there is so much to learn..." shows that you have made the transition not only from a tourist to a traveller but from a traveller to an explorer. Keep dreaming, exploring and learning - the world is an amazing place.

It felt very humbling to read about your experiences, specially your comments about issues of faith. I felt great empathy and yes we have a lot to learn and I think that it is never ending...Great photos and so personal . Anabela xx
