@Paul: You are so right how travel tunes your observational skills and ability to notice and appreciate the little things. Then, you want to question and understand why things are the way they are. We find that when we return to the States and spend time with family/friends we are still in the travel mode of pointing everything out.

Fantastic impressions! I love traveling, and recently got back from a trip to Philippines, and so much of what you wrote echoes my feelings. Especially the part about how traveling makes you view everything through the eyes of a traveler. Totally! When you’re traveling you notice every little detail and nuance, and together those details all form the depth of the beauty you experience. But most people going through the motions of their regular routine tune out most of what is goig on around them. Whenever I start to fall back into that mode traveling is the perfect antidote!

@Ozofu: Late reply here, but thank you so much for the wonderful comment. I’m with you — my favorites are “smile” and “shades of gray”…a mantra for world tolerance.

Hello Audrey and Daniel
This is beautiful! Love it. But most importantly nos 2 -smile and 6-The world is not a place for black and white got me more interested in reading. The pictures are nice too!
Thank you for sharing.
Wishing you the best 2010

@Earl: Glad you enjoyed the list and found it pertinent. The Eisenhower quote was actually one that I remembered from my management consulting days. There are some nuggets of wisdom that transcend all. This to my mind is one of them.

I actually just came across your blog today and happened to be drawn to this particular post. As someone who has also been traveling around for many years, I really appreciated this list. #8 is something I feel is perhaps the most important lesson to be learned. Being open to changing the course of your life is vital in order to avoid being restricted by one plan. The Eisenhower quote is perfect!

I’m looking forward to exploring your site even further!

@Lindsey: Thank you! We really enjoy taking them…especially of people. The broader story on how we get these photos: we just walk the streets. We also have a lot of conversations. After those conversations are over, we ask to take photos. The first photo was taken in Kochin / Cochin in Kerala, India. The mesmerizing young woman in the middle was obviously incredible and unusual (how about that pose??). All we did was talk to them and snap the shutter a few times. We are just now finishing reviewing all of our photos from India. What a spectacularly photogenic place — particularly the people.

I know this was posted about a year ago, but I just wanted to let you guys know that your photos are amazing. Especially the first one on this post. How on Earth did you get these?

Sorry, yet another late response from me. Just discovered your blog yesterday but I’m thoroughly enjoying your stories already. I agree on everything especially the condense milk bit – grew up drinking that with milo and hot water. Mmm mmm!
