The World Through My Window - The Story Behind the Name

Hi everyone - well I am finally getting my own blog. I thought this day would never come as I was waiting to have a free minute to get it started. Well now I am in Hong Kong with nothing but time. Yeah right.

Anyway, I have started this blog especially to be able to let you all know how I am doing on my travels abroad. As most of you know I work for Compassion International which is a Christian child development organization helping children in poverty all over the world. It is an awesome organization so if you haven't heard of it check out the link on this page. I am privileged enough to be able to travel for Compassion with my job. As I mentioned I am currently in Hong Kong for a training of our Asia staff.

So what's with the name? Well the places I travel are generally not ones you can just walk around anywhere you want. Additionally there are many times that the only way you are seeing the country is when you are inside some mode of transportation that almost always have windows. These two things being the case, most of my pictures are taken through a window pane. I have gotten to see many very cool things but there is this pane of glass between me and the world. So I thought, if I ever wanted to make a coffee table book, I would call it The World Through My Window. Since that is probably not going to happen I thought a blog would be the next best thing.

So there you have it in a nut shell. I hope you all enjoy my blog. I will be posting some of my older trip pictures a little later (aka when I get home where they all are) so you can see some of the things I have, through a window of course. I hope to post a few things about Hong Kong and Colombia (where I will be on Saturday) so you can see these two cool cities and meet some great people. Until then, thanks for visiting and come back soon.

Blessings,
Heidi
