Around the World in 80 Handbags

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.

Some of the most popular pages on this site are:
1. YouTube handbag interviews
2. 80 Images from 80 Days

Enjoy your travels…

" I know that we shall meet problems along the way, but I'd far rather see for myself what's going on in the world outside, than rely on newspapers, television, politicians and religious leaders to tell me what I should be thinking. "
