“My great wanderlust is being in conversation with someone I’ve just met, who doesn’t speak my native tongue, has never visited my native land, and who doesn’t understand my culture. I love the interaction that feel like charades.I love feeling vulnerable in a foreign land because it forces me to redirect any biases that have been stuffed deep down in me. To depend on others who are unlike me for advice, protection, direction or even just conversation and community makes me come to life.”
