# 4 - The Importance of Sleeping with Strangers and Picking Up Hitchhikers - The WHY Matters Podcast
Manage episode 395922262 series 3550052
Be Confident with Strangers!
Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.
In this episode, we share the benefits of having stranger connections. Embracing a full-time travel lifestyle means being in constant interaction with strangers. After 10 years of experience, we have learned a lot and gained an understanding of various cultures. The ultimate challenge is overcoming your insecurities and simply talking with anyone. This experience has become a way for us to discover our 'why'; perhaps, you may find yours too!
