Throughout "The Wandering Wayfarer - Life's Lessons as a Travel Photographer," Paulda takes the viewer on a stunningly beautiful photographic journey across the world while sharing his thoughts with regard to how travel can help one grow. From London to Morocco to Bosnia, New York, Iceland, and everywhere in between Mark Paulda shares his love of travel photography with impeccable photographic skills while his truisms about travel pertain to everyone eager to make a journey of a lifetime. Travel spins us round in more ways than we can imagine, and teaches each of us life’s lessons we can never find in a book. It shows us the sights and values and issues that we might ordinarily ignore; but it also, and more deeply, shows us all the parts of ourselves that might otherwise grow rusty. For in traveling to a truly foreign place, we inevitably travel to flavors, and states of mind and hidden inward passages that we’d otherwise seldom have reason to visit. It is a quick way to keeping our minds mobile and awake. And if travel is like love, it is, in the end, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.
