There are different ways to travel. Some people do it for a week, others for a month and some for more. I met Ayesha from Australia in Fisherman's wharf youth hostel. Before coming to San Francisco, she stayed for a couple of months in New-Zealand.
After a few days in the youth hostel, she found a shared flat and started working to stay for three months in U.S.A. Then she will go to India, Israel and Europe. Nomadism seems to be a way of life for more and more people.
Matteo is from Colombia, traveling around Europe for a couple of weeks before going to Germany where he is going to study. When you are traveling, you often meet people that teach you a lot of things about your own country. that's what happened with Matteo when we strated talking about France..
In this interview, he talks about the journey of a traveler. You go for a walk with spanish girls,on the way you meet a french guy and your day turns into an international celebration, switching from one language to another, and in the end you've got more ideas for your next trips.
Marion was traveling through Portugal with her sister on the way to her cousin's wedding. Before heading South, they spent a few days in a local family from the North of Portugal. According to her, it is the best way to get introduced to a culture. We can just agree, how far it is from the standards where you get a stereotyped vision of a country, if ever you see it....
As she said, when you travel you feel closer to people even though you know them just from yesterday. Maybe it's because you are away from your personal habits, your people, your city and your culture. Everything you use to know is left and in this situation a traveler is not another face in the crowd, it's somebody with whom you will share a special moment of your life.
