A few of the most wonder-full moments from my travels around the world!
|
Raised in humble circumstances, my curiosity about the world was first ignited by books, and later by a program that allowed me to correspond with pen pals around the globe. The more I learned about the world, the more precious and valuable it seemed to me, and the more ardently I wanted to explore and protect it. I embarked on my first international travel adventure completely on my own when I was barely fifteen to meet one of those friends abroad. Since then, I have never stopped discovering more to love about our little blue planet and its astonishing beauty and diversity. |
