Stories connect people like no other mechanism, and storytelling helps us to communicate experience and a sense of place and culture.<\/p>\n<p>But often, this is a one-directional process.<\/p>\n<p>Two-way storytelling, however, goes a step further and adds a twist. In addition to listening to the stories of others, it involves telling <strong>your<\/strong> story as well. I\u2019m not talking about the random share \u2014 say, how great a time you had at the bar last night or how much you loved this morning\u2019s visit to the local museum. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that. For this purpose, though, I\u2019m suggesting you offer something revealing about <strong>you<\/strong> or <strong>your<\/strong> background. When invited, perhaps by a question, respond with something discontinuous that might inform or shift the way someone thinks about <strong>your\u00a0<\/strong>culture, where <strong>you<\/strong> come from.<\/p>\n<p>What does this kind of two-way storytelling achieve? It helps dislodge preconceptions and dispel stereotypes by breaking down barriers on both sides of the conversation, not just on the part of the traveler. It deepens the experience and the connection. And it helps to slowly dissolve fear.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full article: <em><a href=\"http:\/\/uncorneredmarket.com\/two-way-storytelling-travel\/\">The Power of Two-Way
