your descriptions are so accurate

less like a website and more like a living campfire
Keep seeking and let yourself be surprised by what you find. Don’t seek in order to confirm your idea, but instead to think along new lines. Like an exercise of the mind, work out new thoughts. I hope you try.
I haven't traveled abroad very much, but when I did, I was so scared to speak for fear of being 'found out' as an american (or simply foreigner). I think this was shyness, awareness of bad behavior from other americans, and humility in my lack of language practice and cultural knowledge.
I even have this cute story when I was visiting a town in England (where they do speak English, so the anxiety was eased). While waiting for a train, I was craving a snack. My traveling partner noticed a shop across the street and encouraged me to go in. I couldn't get myself to do it. We chatted about it for a few moments. And then a girl seated on a bench nearby who was snacking on the very same snack from the same shop that I was too timid to try offered me one of hers. It was sweet, her unexpected kindness I will never forget.
