Hey guys, it’s Shauna, correspondent from Without Bags and realized something I wanted to talk to you guys about today, which is the importance of staying in contact. Especially when I travel for Without Bags, I’m typically gone for, from anywhere from four weeks to eight weeks at a time working for my other job while I’m on the road. One of the things, especially because I typically travel by myself, one of the things that’s just so, so, so important is the ability to stay in contact with those that you care about. It really, when you’re out traveling, especially on your own, it can get kind of lonely. Getting on this boat, if you guys saw the video from the other day they actually told me originally there was going to be no wifi, no cell signal for a week and I’ve already been traveling for about six weeks and that is my life line. Wifi and “wee-fee” for those of you who have been to Belize, “wee-fee”. Anyway, side joke, sorry.
Wifi and cellular signal is so super important to being able to stay in contact with those that you love. The world has moved really much more towards the social media side. Obviously if you’re watching this you’re seeing us on Facebook but Facebook, Twitter, blogging, those kinds of things. Even simple things like writing a letter or writing a postcard are so far removed from most of our world viewpoints anymore. Getting on the boat the other day they actually reminded us that this is a postal boat and the world is not about wifi and maybe you should consider writing an actual letter. Just wanted to kind of remind you guys that say that you love the people that you love, call them, speak to them, Skype them, Face Time them and if you’re in person give them a hug.
There is a Buddhist theory that says that at a minimum, barest thing at a minimum, people need four hugs a day, good hugs. Four good hugs, at six hugs they are pretty happy and at eight hugs they attain enlightenment. If you haven’t had your eight hugs from people that you care about today, Without Bags is here to tell you to go get yourself some hugs. Hope you’re having a wonderful day and looking forward to talking to you guys later.
You guys have been enjoying watching the adventures. Today we went the aquarium and to Mt. Aksla and the view from the top was fantastic. I tried to take some panoramas for you guys and posted them in one of the previous videos. Check it out and as usual, if you have any comments, questions, any topics, like travel type topics that you want us to cover here on Without Bags, put it in the comments. Write us an email WithoutBags@gmail.com or go to the website, Twitter, Facebook, anywhere you want to connect with us we would love to hear from you guys. I’d love to answer any travel questions that you have. Hope you guys are having a great day and I’ll talk to you later. All right, thanks. Bye.
