This. Maybe a bit weird but often for me these connections has been with total strangers while traveling when I was younger. Sometimes it would be with another tourist and sometimes with a local. It's surprising how deep it can get quickly.
I think this is why I love the movie "Lost in Translation", I think it perfectly captures this emotion. But I think if you haven't had that kind of experience with strangers the movie is probably lost on you.
- hutzlibu 3y agoI have not seen the movie, but I know that experience. I think it is, because while travelling you are not bound by social expectations and boundaries. "What if I behave weird, then everyone will know in eternity". No, you meet people and you (both) can relax, because you know you can just move on the next day and never see anyone here again. So you can let go off all that fear and anxiety .. and suddenly you can connect with ease.
