Amazing pictures and context. Are you trying to apply to be a National Geographic writer and photographer?!? Great post!

Valuable insights you share here Tomas 🙏🏼 Who is happier - the ones at home tending the small crop or the one's who left? Reminds me of Paolo Coelho's "The Alchemist" in a way.

Thank you Diedriek. There are so many factors at play and each story is different. Hard to say who’s the happiest one.

Yes, it is brutal and yet the dream of so many young. I was impressed with the level of courage and commitment to family among the migrants and wish it was a side of the story of migration more people knew about.
