To me, traveling is like walking along the beach with the waves splashing across your feet.  Each new person that
you meet on your journey is like a wave suddenly sweeping into your life & disappearing just as quick...

They all leave some part of themselves with you, just like you let them have a piece of you.  Each experience & each conversation you have slightly changes the way you look at the world. "Your past is just like your shadow.  It will always follow you one way or the other..."

Then when the journey is over, you can always look back at all the photographs that remind you
of the good times & laughs, that you shared with all your new friends around the world.
