Lands beyond my own. Cultures that are not mine. Foreign language. I feel naive to be 18 and have no idea how people live in other worlds. I am comfortable, in a home, in a neighbourhood. What about those who don’t have these privileges. I don’t feel sorry for them, I just don’t understand them. I’m sure some cultures envy North America, and our apparent stability, but I look at a lot of places around the world and envy them.
I see Europe, and see how many countries have made vast efforts to be a part of a ‘green’ movement. I see Nomads in africa, living in peace, and free, something at times I want to be a part of. I want to learn of different ways of life. Not in a classroom. I want to be in the thick of it. Immerse myself in something new. Document my journey, and share it with you. Maybe you will do the same.*
