Traveling 52 Places in 52 Weeks | #shorts
00:00:00.000 | because I was going to 52 places in 52 weeks, I didn't have time to prepare.
00:00:03.880 | Right. I, I, I luckily had someone at the times who was helping me and she would
00:00:08.800 | send me like a really great, like one pager of like, here's what you need to
00:00:13.240 | know about currency and here's what you need to know about, you know, public
00:00:15.880 | transportation. And here's like the top 10 things to do when you Google the
00:00:19.640 | place, right? Like these are the big tourist hits or whatever.
00:00:22.440 | I would try to like knock out those 10 things in like an afternoon and be like,
00:00:27.680 | okay, so I've done the brass tacks. I've seen that now, like, let me actually
00:00:31.040 | have an experience. You know, and I think that goes back to this idea of like
00:00:35.480 | travel being more serendipitous, more spontaneous, more connective than it is
00:00:42.800 | extractive. I think a lot of the times we think of travel as extractive where
00:00:46.040 | it's like, I need to go in there, get things that make me fulfilled and leave
00:00:48.920 | and that's and wash my hands of it and plan the next trip. And I think leaving
00:00:53.720 | things open has always led to the best experiences.
