Freedom Friday

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Wordless Wednesday :- Winter Warmth

Scenery Sunday :- Bethlehem, Palestine

With all that is going on in the world and in Palestine, I want to share some of the images I captured while walking along the streets of Bethlehem in October of 2014.

I won’t say much. I’ll let the photos do the talking.

Freedom Friday

Be yourself.
Life is precious as it is.
All the elements for your happiness are already here.
There is no need to run, strive, search, or struggle.
Just Be.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh 

Macro Monday : Frangipani

Freedom Friday

An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, space, and circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle. But it will never break.

~ Chinese Proverb

Wordless Wednesday :- The Dream

Travel Tuesday :- Hotel Bookings, Forget about it!

The Day I showed up at a hotel without a booking was Liberating. Who woulda thunk!

After visiting 46 countries in the world, meeting plenty of people who just stroll up to hotels and hostels without a booking… I am finally brave enough to follow their footsteps. I mean considering I only had a return flight for this current 6-month journey with no set itinerary and not know where I’ll be the next day… I sound like a late bloomer.

Macro Monday : Mini Umbrella

Scenery Sunday :- Jordan the country

Recently I spent 2 weeks traveling from the South to the Northern reaches of Jordan. I must say it’s not an easy country to visit – especially for a solo, independent, female traveler. Luckily I met a fellow solo, independent, male traveler from Germany with a rental car so we had an impromptu road trip together for a few days.

The public transportation in Jordan only connects Aqaba and Petra in the South with Amman and Madaba in the North. Access to the other beautiful historical sites can only be gained with a private car, taxi or a tour bus.
