That’s why I love traveling in public transport (bus) during undergrade in india. It gave me opportunity to interact with so many strangers and also helped expand my thinking/ability to understand by listening to so many different experiences

It’s also what I loved the most about backpacking when I was younger. I started out so uptight and unapproachable with the constant new faces, but forced myself to socialize and eventually I became comfortable and a social risk taker. I would often spot others where I used to be (in my head) and include them in whatever was going on.

I sometimes think I could have kept going forever and be happy just subsisting except for all the casual drinking etc.
