The Postcard from Humanity to You
Questions to Humanity exists to inspire curiosity in the diverse people and places in the world. This project started with Omri’s first South America backpacking trip in 2019. It stems from everyday conversations and moments from thousands of miles traveling on mountain bus roads, tropical coastlines, and South American streets. It now lives with the world, and with you. Enjoy the adventure.
