Elaine Cheung an Asian American learns while travelling that a seemingly simple question like “where are you from” can be a difficult one for those who don't fit the stereotypical poster child of a traveller.

Elaine shares with us how peoples confusion and pre-judgment of her cultural identity has caused obstacles along the way but that has not stopped her from continuing her journey. She has discovered that although we are all different sometimes a simple jester or a smile can connect us as human beings no matter where we are from.

Lotte Heeman from Holland, as a result of a lifestyle change, was able to lose 30kg which then inspired her to climb Mount Mount Kilimanjaro. On summiting the mountain it triggered her to continue the journey and become a world traveller.

Lotte on her one year anniversary on the road, tells us about transitioning into a traveller at 42 and being wiser than her younger backpacker years. She believes that anyone can do it. Yes, it's hard to leave your loved ones behind but the new experiences and acquaintances that you make along the way will more than compensate.
