You won't see the world when you rush out to see everything at once. You'll see the world when you stay in one place, sit down and observe. Spending a morning on a terrace at an intersection in any town in the world is better than sight-seeing a hole in your memories.

People in places are busy. They come and go. They wait and talk. They shout and wave. They do stuff. Loads of it. Keep your eyes peeled, make notes, draw sketches. In the local bar, post office, plaza, restaurant and bookstore... There is the man you sold your car to, there is the woman you'd like to talk to, there is your favorite flower shop, there the dress of your dreams.

Home is where the world is. Local, that's the place to be!
