Travelling makes you a seeker. You start looking for a new perspective, and gain understanding, appreciation, knowledge, and gratitude towards your life.

Travelling is a great lesson in release and control. There is no point to tears of frustration, you just have to laugh your way through.

Travelling forces you to confront fears and challenge yourself. There are endless possibilities of what could happen while you are away. Instead of trepidation, think of them as exciting times ahead.

One of the best things about travelling is making so many amazing connections with people of all walks of life, all ages, all nationalities and just laughing out loud together. You share extraordinary moments together such as watching the fireflies on the beach or the change of colour in the sky as the sunsets.

To me, travelling is everything. It brings such joy to my life that you only get while being away.
