You just start talking to people. Amazing haha! I can't wait until I'm free to travel. I'm planning on heading to South America next summer, It'll be the first time that I get to do some real traveling. I want to document the trip in some way, I was thinking of writing each day but have a feeling that'd fall to the wayside some time into the trip. Do you think videotaping for a first time traveler would take away from the experience and/or be too cumbersome? Great article by the way, I don't know how I fell upon this website but I can't get enough of it! Thanks! Its that easy eh? You just start talking to people. Amazing haha!

Too often we get caught up in our own story about who we think another person is, based on what we see of them. In reality, each of us has so many interesting stories, thoughts, perspectives that it would take an entire lifetime just to tell them. Great point about the fact that everyone is interesting.

I would recommend a small camera that shoots in HD, but gives you an option for standard shooting. Also, I prefer cameras that shoot on SD cards, not mini dv tapes. Tapes are expensive and cumbersome and cameras that use tapes have many more moving parts that vulnerable to the rigors of travel. I currently have a Canon Vixia HF100: small, headphone and mic options and full HD for around $500.
