Journeys Through Vibrant Streets and Quiet Villages

From the crowded streets of Delhi to the quiet villages of Sri Lanka, from the night markets of Thailand to the riverside towns of Vietnam, I moved through countries with no fixed plan.

Encounters That Speak Without Words

Chance encounters led me to people whose expressions spoke louder than words, leaving lasting impressions and stories that went beyond language.
