Travel

I love the photo above of the golden gates at the Palace of Versaille. When I took it I was attracted to the darkness of the gathering storm clouds and the neat contrast it made to the golden of the gates and the light coloured stone of the Palace. What I realised later that it was a nice illustration of the power of Nature over the conceits of Man - when the heavens finally openend and the deluge came the tourists en masse sprinted for the safety of the Metro station, for all our supposed power over the elements scuttling like insects.

I love travel - I came to it rather late in life and am certainly trying to make up for lost time. There's no way I can out-travel my family or friends and so I don't bother trying. I'm all about travelling to the places I'm intrigued by, immersing myself in different cultures to the level that makes sense to me and trying to learn as much as possible.

Own only what you can always carry with you: known languages, known countries, known people. Let your memory be your travel bag
