Life isn't a destination--it's a journey.
We all come upon unexpected curves  and turningpoints, mountaintops and valleys. Everything that happens to us shapes who we are becoming.
And in the adventure of each day, we discover the best in ourselves.
7,107 Islands. Beautiful in nature and in the nature of its people. A verdant archipelago with pristine beaches to beckon the sojourner and soaring mountains to challenge the adventurer. The following links provide a photographic journey to different places and doesn't attempt to be a comprehensive travel guide. It only attempts to entertain, educate and inspire.
