When I travel, I’m a foodie. It’s the great equalizer…everyone eats; everyone has their favorite food; and everyone seems to have a great story to tell about a food adventure. If you’re traveling alone somewhere, just ask a stranger about where to find great food: Nine times out of ten you’ll get a passionate response.
I’ll bet you’ve even told a great story about food too. Think about any place you’ve visited (so nice to be inside your head for a moment, isn’t it?). Chances are you have a food association with it. Chances are the memory gives you great pleasure-even if the food experience was bad.
Food is primal. It connects us to our fellow human beings. It’s the great equalizer and can generate easy conversation and not once venture into small talk…you know how much we hate small talk.
My challenge to you is to pretend you are new to town. Approach a stranger (be wise) and ask them where you can find your favorite type of food. Hint: asking someone in the grocery isle of your favorite food is a sure bet—if someone cooks it, they probably know where you can find it dining out too. That could be a very energetic exchange for the introvert for a couple of reasons. One, it’s information exchange and two, you are tapping into someone’s positive energy flow which will likely increase yours as well. Could be a great adventure…From The Adventurous Introvert, Bon Appétit.
