Humor and Travel
Traveling to a new place can be daunting, especially with the challenge of a language barrier. Over the years, I’ve found one approach that helps bridge this gap: humor and not taking myself too seriously. When I visit new places, I engage with people in a playful way—dancing, singing, and even beatboxing with strangers on the streets.
“When I’m embracing the spirit of play, I can engage with others in a way that displays I am no threat.”
This playful approach allows me to interact openly and genuinely, showing that I come in peace and that I’m here to connect. It’s this spirit of play that has opened doors, allowing me access to places and communities where I might otherwise never have been welcomed.
