Traveling: enlarging the 'I' Travelers talk: Travelers talk is mainly performed in the first few minutes of an encounter of two or more travelers. These are individuals that carry only a minimum of objects, cornerstones of their lives. There is little evidence for or against what they will tell you. Their lives seem to consist of contained stories. With the practice of a long trip and numerous encounters they seem to develop good abilities in presenting themselves and their lives as very i n t e r e s t i n g and fulfilled. And so they also extend their facility for taking at face-value what others have to say about themselves. Travel: re-creation.
