Through my travels I’ve realized that some of the best experiences have come from encounters with others--their stories, their experiences, their culture. It’s through these encounters that I felt motivated to connect and re-connect with people who have been bitten by the travel bug. Whether you’re a local traveler or a world traveler: POST, DISCUSS, SHARE & see what experiences you have in common with complete strangers, learn from their stories, and overall, just have fun!
oh my goodness, I love this! I can't even imagine the kinds of conversations and memories that would have resulted from an experience like this, had over and over with people from all over the world! And it's such a happy video!
ReplyDeletei think that ths should be done by everyone, everywhere.
ReplyDelete1. This video made my day. 100%. Could you imagine all the interactions you'd have while doing this?
ReplyDelete2. The scene when he's in Tonga and the huge wave comes? bet he lost his cell phone too... way to turn your back on the ocean...
I am truly inspired and love this idea. Traveling is often scene as a selfish act of learning instead of an immersing of oneself into another place, culture and global opportunity. It requires self reflection and a true concern for the other person within their context. which isn't always easy. This is cool.
ReplyDeletehaha...respect the ocean! I also got really excited at the first clip of the bean - Chicago!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of people within their context, I was particularly interested that people from all of those places seemed to react so similarly! I'm not sure if they picked up the style of dancing from the main guy, or if there is some universal way of dancing simply for fun, but either way it brought a smile to my face.
In reply to the anonymous comment above brigit, I agree with the idea of immersing oneself in another place. I'm yet to go on a trip where I didn't to some degree "live" there for a time. And to be honest, i don't think i'd ever want to go somewhere without having a connection there first so i can see the place from the inside out, not the outside in. If that makes sense.
