as you all know, travel is my biggest passion (followed closely by photography). I believe it is so important for people to make the effort to learn about other parts of the world, meet people from everywhere you can and see places that you never thought you would. I think we must test the boundaries and leave our comfort zone to truly become who we are meant to be!

for those of you currently grounded by a lack of money or time, here is a little tiny way to get in touch with people all over the world: postcrossing. this site gives you the name, information and address of someone random from another part of the world, and you send a postcard with information about yourself. once they’ve acknowledged receipt, YOU will receive a postcard from a random someone else! it’s a fun little way to speak with people from all over. if any of you join, tell me how you like it!
