Reflection

Hey my name is Stephen Ninaber from Canada.

I grew up moving from one town or city to the next, as we moved a lot for my Father's work. This planted a bug within to me to see every part of the world and travel as much as I can. My first trip outside of North America began at age 16 to India, and since then at the age of 25 I have been to 28 countries. My most recent journey took me on a trip over 6000 kilometers, from Brussels, Belgium, to Dakar, Senegal. Here are some of the photos from my journey where my eyes beheld some of the most stunning sights beheld to the human eye.
