Karen - Nepal, Egypt and Italy

From the Himalayan mountains of Nepal to the sands of Egypt, it continues to be an amazing journey even now. One of the things that stands out for me is the special meetings with all kinds of people, who all care about our world and its problems, all working in various ways to conserve resources and the environment. It's a real privilege to see the faces of listeners as we retell stories about other people and countries; problems and solutions. It's a real comfort to them to know other people are facing similar problems and finding solutions.

I also see it firing the imagination of our girls, the next generation, so I feel grateful for that and hope for the future ..How much more powerful a documentary would be with each person interviewed, reinforcing each other in so many countries and different languages. It's very exciting to be a part of. Gavin is doing a great job of linking people together for mutual support by simply listening, recording and sharing peoples stories about their local environments.

I had an amazing experience in Nepal and then slept in the loud silence of the desert, outside under the stars for the first time. I got up before sunrise to take photos and was mesmerised by the changes of light on the shapes of rocks in the White Desert and the horizon. Now we are in greenery like New Zealand again, in Umbria, Italy ... still with climatic problems and making positive connections.
