A door can symbolize openness–an opportunity and freedom to explore for those curious enough.
I was fixated on distinguishing the variations of doors while I was traveling. There was just something about admiring them that spoke to me about what it means to discover a culture. Was the door open? Who was leaving and where were they off to? What color stood out the most? How tarnished did it appear?
I was smitten by discovering the stories behind these doors.
Months before I left for Europe, I was anxiously applying for scholarships to study abroad and was reminded of this quote: “when one door closes, another one opens”. This rang true when I did not receive the travel scholarship I so desperately wanted. Fortunately, I had the incredible opportunity and honor to become a global ambassador. I wanted to inspire students just like myself to travel with me, even if was just through a computer screen. If I could leave you with any advice, hear this: stop making excuses–do yourself a favor and just buy the ticket already. It doesn’t have to be just a dream.

P.S. Do you gravitate towards something in particular too when you travel?
Stunning photos and superb message 😉 I love how the architecture of each country tells a different story about the culture. That probably tells you a little something about what I tend to gravitate towards when traveling. I love looking at local architecture … the use of curves, corners, colors, and patterns in the buildings and structures of a region. The doors that you beautifully display here are a microcosm of that love. Thank you!
Thanks for the always kind words!
Reblogged this on The Legion of Door Whores.
Every door has its own architecture and history. An ingenious compilation. Wonderful!
