I spent two years in a country that never really sang to me that way, and ten days in one that felt like home. Sometimes things just make sense. Isn’t that such a strange thing, though?

Thanks for the photo compliment! -Jillian Hi Becky,

I never actually did Peace Corps – I’ve written about this before, but basically, when it came down to it, I didn’t want to be tied to any organization.

Thanks for the photo compliment!

I often wonder if it's because the place fulfils some need in you - as if those streets, and those smells represent something you've been missing in your life, and (not consciously) searching for. Maybe that's why some people are able to say they feel at "home" in a place they've never been to before. Some places just feel right to some people. That’s an interesting conundrum.

I went traveling in Asia and didn't capture half as nice of pictures as these lol. When you were in peace corps, did you get a lot of free time to explore on your own? or were you kind of stuck to a schedule that didn't let you roam too much? Wow these are some beautiful pictures.
