I joined other travellers to explore the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province in Tajikistan where we made human connections across a border.

After seven months in my little corner of Abu Dhabi, my wanderlust got the best of me and I boarded a plane to Windhoek, Namibia.

When I started thinking about traveling, one big adventure was immediately put on my wanderlust list: Kilimanjaro.
