The inspiration behind the title of this blog is from the first composition in Robert Schumann’s “Scenes from Childhood” entitled “Von fremden Ländern und Menschen”. Meaning "Of Foreign Lands and People", the stories in this blog relate directly to travel in interesting countries and extraordinary people whose stories should be heard.
