We truly believe that happiness can be found in the small things in life and does not need to cost anything. All around us, we see people and society caught up in a competitive rat race for ‘more’ and ‘better’ to pursue happiness. There are people around the world in far more challenging conditions that seem to find joy and happiness in the smallest things and simplest ways. We can learn a lot from them.
Travel Stories: raw happiness is a photographic expedition in search of happiness in its purest form. Photographer and adventurer Daniel de Leau (Travel Stories) will explore different continents, ethnical backgrounds and religions in the world’s most challenging places to meet locals and witness the origin of their happiness.
