by Victoria Ugarte
The core of any memorable travel experience is the connection that we develop with other people and cultures as we visit other lands. Travel obliges us to leave our comfort zone and progress into the unknown, allowing us to be receptive towards exploration and, ultimately, discovery.

It may be that Scorpio blood running through my veins or it may simply be a fascination with what ordinary men and women have done before me. Each gravestone represents a life that has been lived.
