🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏽‍♂️WANDERING GENEVA 🇨🇭
.
There’s nothing I love doing more when I travel, than simply wandering on foot to capture photographs. Without contest, the best images I’ve captured during my travels have been in circumstances such as this, instead of set up moments. And I still feel shock sometimes when this type of learning by walking ends up also leading to some of the most authentic and deep connections with locals. Because it’s true, people really are nice around the world. People really want to show you their hometowns, their traditions, their way of life if you’re curious and open to new experiences. But you can’t always get that if you’re setting things up. More often, it happens because you’re wandering down a street, looking some combination of lost and/or openly curious when a local says to you, “Can I help you?” and then those four words lead to something magical that you’d never expect.
.
That didn’t happen in this exact moment in @genevatourism with @monicasuma, @neumarc and @mumhad1ofthose but the hours of wandering during which I took this image, and the one a few posts back with the woman in the black cape — these were my favorite hours the four of us spent in Switzerland together. Because at the back of my mind the whole time was the thought that magic could happen. And in the end, it did.
.
It was in the anticipation of discovery that was shared amongst true friends. 🇨🇭 #BetterTogether #VisitGeneva #PassionPassport
