Birds travel freely, where ever their hearts desire. Most possibly the reason why I like to watch them. Being such a keen ornithologist at such a young age gave me a love for not only them but trying to find them. With finding birds comes a love for traveling to other places. I have, due to my adoration of birds, traveled to a wide variety of places around the world. International travel has given me; a white, 22 year old and middle class Englishman, more of an emotional journey that I ever planed.
Since I was 13 and left at boarding school I have always found my own way in life, although with the sporadic knock to send me spinning off. However, I have felt more independent because of it and this sometimes makes me feel estranged from other people. Travel is something everybody does, to work, to the supermarket, to see birds and a whole manner of other things. If it links people together it is something worth writing about.
