Travel

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." St. Augustine Originaly it was hills and mountains that gave him the inspiration to travel, now its the people and the customs that make him grab his passport. On foot in the hills of Nepal, skies in the mountains of Greenland or bicycles in Africa, the mode of transport isnt important, its the being there that excites him, being close to people and close to the wonderful environments.
