The Talisman Project: Kate Newton
The Talisman Project started as a way for me to meet people while travelling. I can be a bit shy and this project kinda forced me to make the effort to talk to people. Traveller conversations usually open automatically with ‘Where are you from, where are you going, where have you been?’. I’d hit people with ‘Did you bring a good luck charm?’ instead and it would lead to an interesting conversation, even from the people who didn’t have a lucky charm. I liked how the question made people think.
