TRAVEL CHANGES EVERYTHING

A few photos you may have seen already and many you won’t.  These are just some of our thoughts following four months on the road.

Meeting people from all over the World enhances your understanding and broadens your mind.

Friendships can be fleeting…

…Some a little longer….

…Others can be safe in the knowledge that you will meet again one day – $5 Canadian Dollars says so!

You do things that you never thought you could… or would!

Abseiling down sheer rock faces…

…Getting down and dirty…

…Fast and furious – well it was for me!

Appreciating every single moment is so important…

…As you may not be coming back this way anytime soon

It doesn’t take long to realise you can’t say everything you really think everywhere in the World.

Always be on guard in the Big C

You realise that a relationship that survives travelling, is a pretty special one.

Fishing for compliments – nice line Mark!

You can act out fantasies without fear and nobody will laugh…

Baywatch Bailey

If you have a roof over your head, you are a lucky person!

Homelessness – a problem the World over

It’s the simple things that matter most.

Boy do you appreciate the things you take for granted at home (flushing toilets)…

…When water is not on tap

Chatting to people you would never normally meet gives you an understanding and perspective you simply can’t get in everyday life.

Skinny Hai, we won’t forget…

…And clear realisation that there is always light even at the end of the darkest tunnel

You soon realise there are two sides to most stories…

Everest, as rarely seen from the “Chinese side”

When you get up close and personal with amazing wildlife, you suddenly discover new found respect for nature.

There are little monkeys wherever you are in the World…

…If we don’t look after endangered species, there’ll be little left

Travel helps you understand that life is not about the past or the future, it’s the present that really matters.

Time to reflect

More often than you think, people are not always quite what they seem!

The fun comes from digging a little deeper to find out what really makes people tick

Sadly some countries are better than others when it comes to caring for the environment.

Carry on like this and there will be problems!

You soon realise how few pocessions you really need.

Travelling light

There’s more to fast food than a Big Mac – sometimes you just need to put it in your mouth and chew!

Tourist treats – but in Cambodia a staple diet to survive, not long ago

We think in the so called “modern world” we have problems.

No! The people of Nepal have problems – first the earthquake…

…Now the lack of fuel!

There’s always something that makes you smile!

This still does three months later

Scary spiders in the bathroom at home aren’t really scary.

Now that’s scary!

The more you travel, the more you want to travel.
