Travel is the pacifying voice; among the traffic

bombarding our minds...

It is a vehicle for a new vision; to

see with a different focus and

perspective...

Whether we are lost in the crowd of Istanbul’s Istiklal or

embracing the sage words of the Guru Granth Sahib on laps of

the Golden Temple; we should explore our affinity to

wander...

To awaken our senses, by sniffing the

Colombian coffee plantations or to

challenge our stigma’s by experiencing the

heat of protest in Cairo’s Tahrir square...

To open our minds to the livelihood’s

of a Bedouin tribe in the Jordanian

desert, or to marvel at the untouched

tradition of Bhutanese farmers...

We can make stronger

connections with strangers on

trains in Himalayan hill

stations, than with our

neighbour’s we commute with

everyday...

When we travel with army convoys

through the Sinai Peninsula, stroll

through Bogota’s murals of graffiti art

and expose ourselves to Kathmandu’s

chaos we hear new voices...

Voices of adventure, knowledge and connection...

To inform our judgements and beliefs, to understand

ourselves better...

Travel is more than getting out of our

bubbles; its about bursting and

altering our perceptions
