Knowing tribes and people (Vietnam)

There is a Quranic verse that speaks to my heart.

We made you into peoples and tribes so that you may know one another.

Nothing makes me more happy than to encourage people to travel. Not just to see a place but to connect with people, make friends, fall in love and perhaps become a part of their life. We discussed hacks that help us travel on the cheap, make friends out of strangers, and score free food - free food always tastes better.

Many participants were students and young professionals. We talked about open information sources and search techniques to help find internships and jobs.

Thanks to the Green Passport volunteers for organizing this meet.
