Photo of the Day: Woman with Checkered Headscarf
This woman’s smile captured me when I was in Vietnam.
She glows. Yet, I know that she doesn’t have a lot of money. She is rich in spirit and the epitome of the lesson I’m continually reminded of when I travel to the developing world – that you don’t have to be rich to be happy.
Travel Well!

What a wonderful shot. There’s something decadent about that unrestrained smile, isn’t there?
Well put, Debbie. Unrestrained. Yes, she could be Bhutanese given their philosophy of Gross National Happiness. She is indeed Happy.
On my travels I’ve noticed the poor people are the ones that really know how to smile. However, the rich ones, are all grouchy and complaining constantly:)
