Lebanon POW: 9 – 15 October
Someone once said “Being soaked alone is cold. Being soaked with your best friend is an adventure”, so always turn your life into an amazing adventure, whether it was with or without the rain.
And always remember that when it’s raining, there will always be someone out there waiting in the cold to take some amazing photos of either the rain and the beautiful lightnings.
