A journey  A journey of thousand miles begins with one step towards enjoyment and freedom. Starting a new day in a new place is exciting. We are happy when we think about going to different places, knowing different cultures, traditions and meeting new people. A view where there is peace with no pollution, a place untouched but caressed by nature.
