RE: Travel Throwback | Marshall Islands, Part 1 | Vibrant Yogini
Beautiful post with delightful images, thanks for sharing this with us @vibrantyogini. I love that you noted the lack of a mutual language led you and the local who took you crab hunting to communicate using "a lot of hand signals and smiles". I am often perplexed at how much more successful communication can be when we rely less on words and place a greater focus on thoughts and body language. Looking forward to more of your travel experiences;0)
Thank you so much!! Yes it's so true! I have always felt bad during my travels for only speaking English when so many people I meet speak 2+! However, I do make the effort to learn the basics of 'please, thank you, hello, goodbye' etc! Have a lovely weekend! :)
Thank you much. However, I suggest you no longer feel "bad during your travels for only speaking English when so many people I [you] meet speak 2+!". Something tells me your emphasis on peace and mindfulness is far stronger than any language barrier you will ever face;0) Not so say that learning other languages isn't absolutely invigorating... simply appreciating the magic of unspoken words.
