8 days to departure.
Here are all the places I will travel to in the next 2 months.

Each time I embark on a journey to the unknown and unfamiliar - like now - I ask myself why do I travel? Here are some of my reflections:

We travel as an expression of passion for the world.
We travel to ardently pursue all we hope to discover.
We travel to be surprised, so that we don’t stop questioning.
We travel to exchange ideas, beliefs and values.
We travel to cultivate compassion, to stretch our hearts and expand our souls.
We travel to see someone smile, and smile back at them.

This year make a resolution to see and learn more of the world.
