Thanks for popping by the site…
In January 2007 I headed off around the world alone. I travelled through India, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Los Angeles and New York. On the way I used the ice-breaker of asking strangers what was in their handbags as a way of meeting them.
People often ask what I learnt from the trip, well… I learnt a lot about other people from their possessions. I found that the older people were, the less they carried. In India they had a lot of prayer cars, in America a lot of vitimin pills. For myself, I learnt that life is not about what we own, life is about what we do.

" We seek an enlargement of our being. We want to be more than ourselves... We want to see with other eyes, to imagine with other imaginations, to feel with other hearts, as well as with our own... We demand windows. "
