If I could describe to you how it felt to begin travelling around the world, I could simply say it was just like skydiving.
The anticipation of buying your tickets and walking out to the runway. The smell of fuel and the heat rising from the tarmac only adding to the tension as you step into the plane. Spending time in a non- English speaking country will change you just like the moment you let yourself fall out of the plane, letting every part of your unwanted troubles behind – even if it is just for a few moments. Lost in time and space, you will roll and tumble, flip and twist until you pull yourself together and take control of the situation giving you an outstanding, overwhelming since of clarity and a perfect view of life on earth.
Looking back at both of the two life changing events I can see similarities in all aspects. The thrill, excitement, the rush, the unknown but most importantly, the final view on the world after truly looking at it for what it is. No brochures, no lonely planet guilds were needed. Just a map, the erg to explore at free will.
These collection of photographs were taken with in the last 6-7 months.
SUCH IS LIFE.
