Give and you shall receive. Australian photographer Shantanu Starick is living this mantra and inspiring us through his wandering way of life – The Pixel Trade. For more than a year, he’s been traveling the globe offering his sweet snapper skills in exchange for the bare necessities: water, food and shelter.

Starick’s fresh perspective and appreciation for life’s simple pleasures should be a lesson to us all to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves. You really can’t put a price on this sort of experience, and it only takes one to inspire many.
