Above all, what I have come to notice in my travels is similarity. A tropical rainforest is a tropical rainforest whether it is on a Caribbean isle or the Southeast Asian subcontinent. Similarities are abundant, and inspiring. This is one earth, our earth, and we are one people. Separated, but connected by the land and seas we share, the planet we inhabit together.
In my travels I can, and do, find a connection with almost anyone I meet. And if we don't have one, we can make one. You're from Beirut? I've been there. You speak English? So do I. Your hair is curly? As is mine. We are all more connected than we realise, more similar than we ever admit.
And what better time to acknowledge this than playing with elephants with new friends and bonding with strangers on a jungle trek and hill tribe home stay in Northern Thailand?
