Expat Backpack

By

There is a smell under your nose, a taste under your tongue, and a place in your heart that needs your hands with kindness and respect. I know what you feel. I have been there and still going through these moments as soon as I want to start a new mission whether it is go to build some fuel efficient stoves, or shake a man’s hand and share some laughs, or help with building water wells to provide clean water to villagers, or smelling a hot coffee under a tree shade in the middle of nowhere.  We have One Job and that is to do the right thing no matter if we are a volunteer, a UN worker, a NGO worker or a diplomat representing our respective countries. I have started this site because over the years, so many people have come to me to get advice. So, here I am officially now. Lets GO.. Pack your backpack and I am coming with you and don’t forget that camera in your head.
