Travel
Why do we do it?
To experience new things, to meet new people, try new food, hear new music and open our eyes up to how small and insignificant we are. Everyone has their own reasons, but it is addictive, sometimes tiring but mostly rewarding.
I have done a little bit of travelling, some that I haven’t written about in this blog as it was long before this blog existed. Here are some posts from theplaces that I have travelled though since creating the blog.
