UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTERS
Some journeys are shaped as much by the people you meet as by the places you see.
On the way to Jordan, I unexpectedly met Krzysztof Wielicki at the airport — travelling onward on his own mountain journey.
In Amman, I reconnected with a friend from Rotaract — one of those meetings that may still grow into new ideas for the future.
And during the symposium, I met artists from different countries who quickly became much more than names on a participant list.
Shared work, conversations, laughter, different languages, different lives.
Some encounters last a few minutes.
Some may stay much longer.
