Experiences make you grow. They make you the best you will ever be. I have spent the last two months travelling and exercising my inner adventurer. The itch in me this year managed the extreme north of Pakistan all the way down to the southern end of Africa. As all great journeys make you grow, my first time in Africa had more to offer than just the contentment of travelling. The energy, the vibes, spirit and air have occupied parts within me that made me trust this earth a little bit more. This world is a truly beautiful place and sometimes we don’t value it enough!
