"Think of the long trip home.
Should we have stayed at home and thought of here?
Where should we be today?
Is it right to be watching strangers in a play
in this strangest of theatres?
What childishness is it that while there's a breath of life
in our bodies, we are determined to rush
to see the sun the other way around?
The tiniest green hummingbird in the world?
To stare at some inexplicable old stonework,
inexplicable and impenetrable,
at any view,
instantly seen and always, always delightful?
Oh, must we dream our dreams
and have them, too?
And have we room
for one more folded sunset, still quite warm?"

--- 'Questions of Travel', Elizabeth Bishop

I've seen some beautiful landscapes along the way, but for me, it's always the people that make places worthwhile. I'm really interested in other people's stories and how life has shaped them to be who they are.

I'm passionate about photography, reading, social justice, feminism and making connections wherever I am, whenever I can. I also love hiking, cycling and swimming and wish I'd gotten fitter before I'd embarked on my trip!

Would love to learn and get to know more about you and your country and what makes you tick ☑️
