Looking through another's eyes allows you to view the world from a perspective other than your own. To see things through another cultural lens.Looking through another's eyes also allows you to see yourself, your culture, your interaction with others and the world around you from the perspective of others.This experience has been a true journey into and away from myself. Each day, whether consciously or unconsciously, I learned more about myself, who I am, who I want to become.I have seen and experienced many beautiful, unique, heart breaking, and utterly shocking things. Things that no matter how out of this world amazing or how horrific they may be, I am always reminded that they are all part of the human experience. The unique yet interrelated exchanges between one person and another, between mother nature and the human race, between the sun and the moon, the earth and the sea.Thank you for reading and allowing me to share my life as a VSO volunteer in Papua New Guinea. Although I will not be making any new posts, I will not stop looking through another's eyes.
