Shaded Stories

A new texture of travel series... In this era of disconnection it feels like I have to summon the courage of all my ancestors to ask the barista for a bit more milk in my coffee. What happened to seeing ourselves in others? Travel over 11,000 miles with me out of this age into a rediscovery of the common thread of liberation, creativity, and resilience between all people. Play with a 303 machine with Dede, break into a café to hang up art with Rado, and have a pup rescue you from a snow cave with Malea. THE HYPOTHESIS: No matter how different one's food, music, language, landscape, job...there will always be something fundamentally human about them that we are inextricably linked to. You may be surprised how often you see a flash of yourself in each episode. I know how I feel about my study's findings, but well, what do you think? -Mel
