It’s like an adventure that opens your eyes to the vast multitudes of possibilities out there in the world. Chances to what you may say? Well chances of seeing the real beauty of everything around you, understanding the simplicity of the complex races, culture and behavior of people, and knowing that everything around you is completely intertwined.
