About this Blog

Welcome to the reflectivelife, thank you for taking the time to have a look. The aim of this blog is to share a variety of stories I come across and which come across me, in a way which hopefully reflects a bigger story behind. My aim is to tell these stories with both words and photographs (many involve travel), so most posts have a gallery related to them. I suggest you read the post before viewing the gallery.
