the world is my oyster

i travel because i am thoroughly in love with the world. 
it makes me feel empowered, helpless, important and
insignificant all at once. it makes me feel alive.

travel provides the perspective and wisdom that only comes with a journey outside of one’s own world.

i travel to collect stories: the stories of people, of places, of history and customs, of hopes and dreams, of love and hate, of humor and sadness, and of life as it unfolds.

i travel to push my own limits - to define who i am,
where i belong, and what my purpose is.

i travel because i can.
