I got my first passport at age 13 in order to take a family trip to India (in 1998), I then spent a year in India at age 15 at a boarding school. My passport expired at 18 and due to some name change complications it took me until 2011 to get a new one. So when I finally got it I made a promise to myself to actually use the damn thing and take one trip out of country a year for the rest of my life (some years have been harder than other due to finances, so I've taken some short trips to the cheapest places I could find!). The big question of course was where to go first?

At the time I had a good friend living in London who really wanted me to visit. But London just seemed so un-exotic for first stamp in a new passport. He finally convinced me by listing all the places we could fly from london for super cheap. We found $60 tickets to morocco and I was sold. After all, Africa was an entire continent I'd never set foot on! We spent most of the trip in Marrakech, wandering through small alleys and markets and sipping mint tea on rooftops. It was a lovely first trip.

So, where did you get your first passport stamp? (or if you have more than one passport, where was your first stamp in each one?). If you have yet to travel outside of your home country, where in the world would you most like to visit? Let me know in the comments :)

Nice work! Seems I do my work to abstract and not so easy to understand, this hovever ia easier to relate to. Keep up the good work 😀

I actually really like your more abstract photos! Keep it up!

Thank you and thank you for the comment on my photo :)

By the way, did you add the black frame yourself or is there an option to do so in here?

I added the black frame back when i first edited the photo in 2011.

ok, I'm might consider adding the black frame as well. I have always liked the idea that the photo talks for itself as it was photographed, so I have only limited the editing to cropping only and nothing more. But I see value in the black frame. Good job again :)

I used to always use black frames on my photography. I don't do it as much anymore, but some photographs benefit from it

My conclusion exactly!

The photograph is as good as ur post.. I love traveling backpackers way..
I had planned many times but so far I hvnt set foot outside India, somthing or the other turned up and I had to cancel last minute.
Went through you post and it did strike a chord. Continue posting more such pictures and am gonna follow suit and visit those places 😃

thank you so much! And I'm sure you'll get your chance to travel more! In the meantime, India is a huge and beautiful country with many places to see! I'd love to get the chance to go back there one day! I was there for a year and feel like I only got to see a small part :)
