Another reason to love travel: Connecting With Strangers
"Hi Matt, I see you are planning a trip to England in July If you're in. west to Bristol want to come, please let me know - I'd be happy to host you for a few days, show Bristol tickets for the rest of the West Country in the right direction "[
as this blog starting in March, I still fascinating, useful, open-minded people in the blogosphere have as much as I of wandering the world. I get advice for web design, writing, blogging and website promotion.
More importantly, I like the author of this e-mail hit people. People who have no idea who I am, but want me to show, or sit down for a night in their corner of the world. However, I have learned this new blog and the CouchSurfing community that the openness of travelers everywhere can be found
This is another reason why I love to travel. So many strangers are willing to open their world - and their homes - to you.
Travel is not about the places you go, but the people you meet along the way. Whether you're a blogger and someone who is an email you want to visit them or you just meet a stranger on the street, the world is full of people who give visitors the best has to offer their country show. Most of us are proud of our home and love to the people. It is innate.
Those curious about the world and you understand your vagabond lifestyle more than your office colleagues, because they have been there. You know the heights, the depths, the joy and the pain. You will jump with you on a plane to fly to Honduras, if you need someone to go with, and they will give you names of people in Auckland you to show.
travelers want to meet people - all people. You have no fear of strangers. In fact, that you are a stranger often makes it better. I met two fellow Bostonian vagabonds and despite only they know via email, we go to dinner next week. Dinner with complete strangers. Sounds like a great time!
But why is that? Why are we strangers so openly?
ways to go in the world, you need to open. It is the only way to get through the day. To make new friends, you need to be hyperactive happy and friendly. You have to be okay with a roommate to find on a bus, or to find in a hostel best friend.
you have to look for the better angels of our nature.
When I was in Vietnam, I chatted with two Britons for a few minutes, then ended with them the Mekong Delta Bike on. Now I will visit them in England next month (where we are planning more cycling). All because I said "Hello" when I sat in my pension there.
One of the hardest things I've ever had the lack of openness has been in other people to treat home. When I happened to strike up conversations that people are looking for my ulterior motives (and sometimes shocked when they realize I do not have a). I can see the look on their faces: "Why is he so kind?" You surprised by the fact be taken into account that, when I ask, "How are you" I really want more than just me your life story like "okay.".
But take these conversations never last long, because the people here seem to be on guard. They are always, to protect themselves from a make-believe enemy.
But on the road, when you have made friends, your bond never seem to break. Facebook, Skype and email you can as ever to stay in touch. So to have despite not seen a few people in two years, and they have taken for one day only, they expect my coming to fetch eager in Europe where we left off.
Because that's just who we are. We are travelers. We want to experience the world and all in it.
And that is another reason why I love traveling.
