A Muse to Muse

Visiting them in their homes, experiencing their villiage lives and trying to find a path out of rural poverty. These experiences, like, made every countr more memorable to me and perhaps more importantly, they made every country feel familiar like they were no longer a foreign country to me they became a place I new a bit beyond the surface. And all of those memories have stayed with me today in so much that it changed how I travel today and how I see the world.

So whether you speak the language or not it's always possible to connect with others when you are traveling. It takes very little to see their humanity.

What I like most to do is to walk in the path of everyday people, where they eat where they shop, where they spend time just as I did many times as a kid traveling with my parents. I try to interact with people even if it's super brief. Basically, I'm seeking the mundane because I want to humanize my experience rather than to pass through with a checklist of sights to see.
