A Life of Adventure

Posted on by

“Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it”. – Ninon de Lenclos

Looking up at the Tour Eiffel, my most favorite landmarks.
Me and my boy
The highlight of the trip was a boat tour in search of hippos and the island monasteries on Lake Tana.

“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go”. – T.S. Eliot

      No way! I am not sure if people really eat the scorpions or it is all just a tourist joke. I couldn’t believe it though.

      Thanks Sue! Yep, wedding of course is an adventure. I wanted to pull more pictures into the collage but it was taking forever going through my media library as I have over 12,000 images! At one point I just stopped and said enough!

  25. janaline's world journey – I am addicted to travelling and have been exploring the world for nearly two decades. Here I share my travel stories and pictures so that you can share in some of the amazing experiences I have along the way. When you travel you experience the culture and get to know the people of a country. Once you step out of your comfortzone you get to know the real country and experience it in a different way than ordinary tourists. My camera usually accompanies me everywhere I go so you can "see" and read about my journeys.

  26. zbsarian – Manila, Philippines – Agriculture editor of Manila Bulletin, a broad sheet that is 114 years old. My writings appear in a twice-a-week agriculture page in the Manila Bulletin, in Sunday Panorama magazine of Manila Bulletin and in 4 vernacular magazines also published by the same Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation. I am also a hands-on farmer operating a farm and nursery of exotic fruit trees. I am now 77 years old but still very active. No health problems. I can eat anything and I travel a lot in the Philippines and a few times a year abroad being invited to cover agricultural events. I am a widower with one daughter who has her own business designing and producing canine apparel. I have written seven books on agricultural topics, mostly about successful farmers and their success strategies. My journalistic efforts have been recognized by award-giving agencies. One of them is the Magsaysay Award for Journalism, Literature and Creative Arts in 1974. This is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in Asia. You don't apply for this award. There is an incognito search body that investigates your work.

    That’s an enviable life. Adventure! I like adventurous people. I just came from a trip to what we call Cordilleras in the Philippines and it was a very enlightening experience to meet new friends and see how they cope with life’s challenges under different conditions.
