Our families made sure we were decked out in our best as well. Charlie wears the national dress, dishdasha (robe) and kuma (cap), while Heather wears a custom made jalibia. I am the only one in non-Omani wear; as long as it's new and pretty, it passes.
Gaziantep, Turkey

"My Turkish friend took me to his home in Gaziantep for the holiday Kurban Bayrami, which is where they sacrificially slaughter lambs and the meat is shared. The day before the actual lamb slaughtering was to take place, his family came and took us to their pistachio farm where they had recently finished harvesting pistachios. I got there and waited around while they cooked meat on an open grill with red peppers and the young women prepared bread, salad and a yogurt drink called ayran. I was walking through the pistachio fields and a saw an elderly lady sitting on a overturned pot next to the harvesting house. She was staring over the pistachio fields and murmuring Muslim prayers for forgiveness. She was sitting in such serenity next to the fields in which she had spent her life picking pistachios."

"This is the very end/southernmost tip of the peninsula in New South Wales. I hiked up this mountain on my last day in Australia with a good friend and we decided to sit on this rock overlooking the entire peninsula. I think it represents not only the beauty of the Pacific Ocean but also shows the physical and metaphorical divide between my friend and me. He was Australian and I was American, yet we could both relate to one another and enjoy being in the moment, high above the rest of the world."

"The Karen people have been using shifting cultivation for growing rice for more than 100 years to live in harmony with their forest.
