Why We Travel






Why we travel? Is it you are on your honeymoon trip or invited by your friends to visit their new home? What a travel can leave you?

My answer to this question is THE PHOTO. Photo that I can't take if I've never been to that place, photo that I can't take if I am not in that mood, and photo that I can't take if I've never met those people.

Travel is wonderful. Sometimes, one photo and a few lines of comment from yourself can take you go back to that place again. That's what the original story tells - why we travel? One little picture can give you the answer. 

The background color is black, wonderful for pictures show, and there are no advertisements. Photo on the left, words on the right. Each picture is a window to tell a story and the story begins with why we travel explained on the right-side comments.

I like story No. 4 best. You can tell that the photo was taken from outside of the van's windshield while still moving. It's a very special and beautiful angle to picture a van running on the quiet country road with sun set and golden skyline in the background.

The traveller said: "We spent our time camping and traveling and meeting people from all over the world like we did in our 20s. Keep in mind we are both in our 40s now."

"Travel is freedom, and the smallest things become an adventure. It's a departure from the everyday that reminds you that there is a huge world out there worth exploring."

I took that photo at the beginning. I was on my graduation trip with my best friends. I have forgotten where we lived, what we ate or who we met.

But I can always remember what we felt when we were sitting besides the sea in the midnight with sea breeze touching our shoulders and the sound of waves singing for us. That photo just illustrates all I can remember for this trip.
