I'm an Evolutionary Biologist | Sci-Fi enthusiast | Street photographer | Nomad | Writer

"The usual hero adventure begins with someone from whom something has been taken, or who feels there is something lacking in the normal experience available or permitted to the members of society. The person then takes off on a series of adventures beyond the ordinary, either to recover what has been lost or to discover some life-giving elixir. It's usually a cycle, a coming and a returning". Joseph Campbell, The Hero With a Thousand Faces.
