El Cafecito Travel Talks

Daniel Hall, a nomadic English teacher from the northeast of England discovers the importance of sometimes sitting still while on a journey of a lifetime.  

Dan shares with us his reasons for stopping and taking time off, why it's not always necessary to see and do everything while on the road, and how your fellow travellers can be a support group. Also leaving us with the thought that, It's your trip,  so you need to make it what you want it to be.

Elaine Cheung an Asian American learns while travelling that a seemingly simple question like “where are you from” can be a difficult one for those who don't fit the stereotypical poster child of a traveller.

Elaine shares with us how peoples confusion and pre-judgment of her cultural identity has caused obstacles along the way but that has not stopped her from continuing her journey. She has discovered that although we are all different sometimes a simple jester or a smile can connect us as human beings no matter where we are from.
