We are can learn how to make a real local connection with the indigenous people that have been able to establish an affectionate and balanced relationship with nature for generations, where they live, and this behavior serve as an example for society to reflect on the need to review the paradigms deep seated in urban life and come back to have a contemplation and exchanges of reciprocities with the environment, not imposing domination on it. Surfing on the Internet and exchanging messages on your smartphone is really fun, but sometimes you need to turn off all electronic devices, disable it and change the digital connection for a local connection and get in touch to feel the fresh air and the vibration of the planet. A city life is so busy that we do not stop to appreciate little things, it seems that everything passes by us vainly. One good tip is take a time off and go to the Caribbean beaches and its countless beauties as a classic example, with crystal clear blue waters in contrast to the white sand that makes everything more beautiful, walking by the sea for far as you can, feeling the sun on skin, water on the feet and the breeze on the face while walking on the sand makes our thoughts fly away, but it is not for worries, but for good things, it feels like is easier to find the answers we need and we can almost hear something saying: "Welcome back". The beach is one of the most democratic places that exist, where all ages, beliefs and cultures are together, just enjoying the positive energy that the sea brings. However, making a local connection is not just about establishing a relationship with nature but with people too, those ones who surprise by kindness, hospitability and sincere friendship. People whom we can proudly say: it was worth the trip. I love to travel, particularly, get out of the routine, sleep in another bed, use another bathroom than my own, live on unknown and unusual, sometimes. Traveling alone, for example, make us much more generous and open to the mishaps of a trip. If there are no longer hotel rooms available, i am going to look out for another. The walk is longer than the script and the hunger hits, stop, no bad mood. And anyone knows that nothing in this life makes people more irritated than hunger. But it turns out that not even complaining about hunger is funny when you don't have company, by the way complaining to yourself is the highest point of being moody, having nobody to complain about anything that is not working makes you more tolerant human being, not because you wish but for necessity. That’s why you do not want to spend every day of the trip alone, you want to meet people, share lunches and beers and the friends we made during these solitary trips are the best. Usually they are also solo travelers. They are more tolerant, open, and generous. They start to left behind ‘life's petty meanings’ because they are after someone to share lunch and conversations over the meal too. Your new friend also knows that traveling by himself is great, but also knows that being alone at a restaurant table is one of the most depressing things on the planet. So, please be a traveler, not a tourist, try different things, meet new people and look beyond what's right in front of you, these are the keys to understanding this wonderful world we live in and free yourself from that anchor that holds you and go explore the sea that exists within you.
