Nothing to loose, but the world to see !
The desire to travel occurred to me from my grandfather.
In my childhood days, my grandfather would often tell me to go to different places and see different kinds of people, observe their life and cultural things. He hoped it would be a better life experience. During his teen-age time, he has traveled a lot for business. He know 5 languages . The interest in travel came to me only from him. He is my motivation and role model.

Yes.. I'm a photographer, but I'm never traveled to take a photo.
Many places, I just want to see, feel and enjoy first.
when occasion arises, i photograph and document the moment / festival / etc..
There are plenty of missed moments without being photographed
when seeing and enjoying cultural festivals / immersed in nature.
