00:00I don't think I could be as passionate about travel if I wasn't meeting inspiring and
00:18interesting people.
00:19Yeah.
00:20Great.
00:21I like that.
00:22Here we go.
00:23I was around her arm an hour ago.
00:26Now I'm eating it.
00:28I'm Alyssa Caverly, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the world we live in.
00:33I want to show my generation that travel is more than just about fun and vacation.
00:38It can really change how you see the world.
00:41I feel emotion.
00:42Uh-huh.
00:43There you go.
00:44That's it.
00:45Just kill the crab.
00:46We all love social media to connect with our family and friends back home when we're traveling.
00:50And of course, we love to brag every once in a while by taking those selfies.
00:55Social media and technology is also helping us connect with the local people and culture
01:00like absolutely never before.
01:01Can I take them?
01:02Can you?
01:03I can't.
01:04Are you sure?
01:05As a journalist, I started reporting on location years ago.
01:09After traveling to about 32 countries, I started to wonder, why did I remember some countries
01:15so well and others not at all?
01:18And then it hit me.
01:19It was the places where I was actually meeting the people.
01:22I wasn't just seeing the sights.
01:23I wasn't, you know, taking my selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower.
01:26I was actually experiencing a place through their eyes.
01:30It's my moisturizer.
01:31Yep, and I'm 90.
01:32There you go.
01:33So that's what we're going to do with this show.
01:37We're going to go to Scotland and meet five-year-old Donald and his sheep herding dogs.
01:42And we're going to go to Eastern Canada where we are participating in a clam bake.
01:46And we're going to go to England where we meet this surfer who dreams of surfing every
01:50single surf site in the world.
01:54This show is about life.
01:55It's about getting out there and meeting people and learning through their experiences and
02:00understanding what connects us all.
02:03And this is going to keep me warm.
02:04It's going to keep me nice and tasty.
02:05All right, here we go.
02:07So get ready to see the world differently.
02:10This is Hashtag Modern Traveler on OraTV.
