Wandering

 

Have you ever wandered around a new city just for the sake of exploration? Well, you should. It is hard to really get the essence of a place if all you are doing is going from place to place without seeing the places in between. Wandering is a perfect way to find out about a place, even a place you have been two hundreds of times.

If I wasn’t aimlessly wandering around Amsterdam, I would have never found this canal.

I love to wander and just look up at the world around me, from big cities or little villages. I love to see a town’s unique architecture and flair and wandering is the best way to find what I love the most.

This series is dedicated to wandering, mostly aimless, sometimes not.
