As humans, we are all connected in some way or another through this pandemic! It’s been amazing to see so many people locally and globally connect and support each other!

One thing I’ve learnt in this life is that we can’t walk it alone! Community allows us to support one another, interact, share experiences and our life struggles. Having this open bond with others is what builds valuable relationships, and gives us a deeper sense of belonging.

You may like walking alone, but you need others to walk with you through life. Let me give you three reasons.

1. It’s Safer

Have you ever had to walk through a dark alley at night or down a long road in the countryside by yourself? It can be a little scary. It’s safer to walk through life with others.

2. It’s Supportive

There’s an old Zambian proverb that says, “When you run alone, you run fast. But when you run together, you run far.” Life is not a 50 yard dash; it’s a marathon! The only way you’re going to finish the race well and not burn out is by having other people involved in your life through meaningful relationships.

3. It’s Smarter

You learn more by walking with others than you do by yourself.

Travelling has allowed me to connect with so many wonderful people, from strangers turned into friends, both online and offline. There’s so much power in community and I hope we can continue to connect with each other virtually and when it’s safe for us to meet in person!
