World trip, life journey


This is Dean's self-portrait, taken with a tripod, looking at the Panama City skyline from our hostel window. We're coming to the last quarter of our trip. At the moment, we're both very reflective of how 2008 has been and forward thinking about the year ahead. Travelling is well and truly a part of us now. We are travellers, curious world and life explorers, muddling our way through our journey on this planet and through life. Nothing quite teaches you life lessons like a 12 hour bumpy road trip, haggling with a desperate vendor, sharing a room with 5 other people or losing money to a scam. Nothing quite makes you feel sheer joy and beauty like reading a letter from your World Vision sponsor child describing his elation about your planned visit, having a meaningful conversation with someone in a language that you've been learning or finally arriving at a destination that had previously only been a dream.
