Greetings Claire, I’ve been following you on Facebook and Substack. AMAZING is the one word I need to say to you.
I’m not sure how we became friends, but like you, I have traveled a lot—and now have hundreds of new stories I will share with my co-author, Andrew Wakeford on our Substack. Please take a look at our new site, Portraits of US! I’ll certainly will keep up with you and your beautiful writing and travels. I love how you are taking your passion and making it happen! Congratulations!
That is the part of traveling that makes me feel horrific! The history, the colonialism, the hell we have put most of the world through! Thank you for sharing your ENTIRE experience! The LOVE, the BEAUTY, and the AGONY! LOVE YOU, xooxoxo
"Why am I the one being served the fresh coconut and not the one climbing the palm tree with my bare hands and cutting open its fruit? What did I do to deserve this lifestyle? The answer lies in my passport, the fate to have been born in a country that took more often than that it was taken. The cannons tell me injustice too frequently wins." I have definitely felt like this before. It's a matter of luck that I get to live one way and someone else does not. Wonderful to see you are a thoughtful traveler.
