Over the last few years, I have travelled quite a bit and in the process had and lived some experiences that I feel I want to record. Primarily for myself. We forget quickly the joy we felt facing a sunrise, swimming in the ocean at midnight under a full moon or talking to interesting people in a bar...The second reason is because my ego dictates that I leave something, if I enjoyed it so BLOODY much, it must be of some help, interest or fun to someone out there.
I want to hammer those moments down, find the words to describe them, render them onto the canvas this blog proposes to be and then hang those portraits on a wall so I can remember, always, the beauty of life and never become bitter and ungrateful too quickly...
Rwanda, Uganda, Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Ethiopia, South Africa, The US, The UK, The Emirate of Dubai, Russia, Pakistan, Singapore, the Philippines so far and a few more coming up...I want to talk about the countries, and the people, the experiences, the banalities and the serious stuff, what never mattered and what did.
In the words of Samuel Johnson; “The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.”
So things as I thought them and as they turned out to be....This is the world as I see it....as honestly as I can....
The experiences you have had in all these places warrant a 'Chronicles of Narnia!'
