Nothing is as good or bad as it seems.
My greatest passion is to explore new places all over the world, whether it be remote, desolate beauty or exotic cultural cities.
“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.”
Bill Bryson
