The People Along the Way

Originally written March 2020

One of the highlights of my travels has always been meeting people.

I loved talking to people from different countries, cultures and faiths — and quite often asking complete strangers if I could have a photo with them. 😊

Some were fellow travellers, some were locals, some were guides, and some were simply people I happened to meet along the way. We might not have shared the same language, beliefs or background, but somehow a smile and a little curiosity were usually enough.

Looking back at these photos, I may not remember every name, but I remember the encounters.

Sometimes the places are what take you somewhere.

And sometimes, it’s the people you meet there who become part of the journey.
