Travel

From June 1993 - January 1995 I spend time traveling. It all started with the selling of Magic Eye posters (remember those?) in France, which led me to India (as it does), Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Nepal, Australia, Sumatra, Kenya..... While the places in themselves were amazing it was always the different people I met who I remember. You know who you are!
