I want to tell you first that I feel

very happy to be here and to have

the opportunity to make the closing was of

everything we’ve been talking about

precisely from the human mind and I want

do it from a perspective

completely different from something that I

passionate are the trips and for that

I want to ask them once I’ve

put to think how the mind looks

of you from the aesthetic part not

the scientific part of mine I put myself

to think about that is done here they have to

every my mind all my behaviors

my values ​​and my belief system and

in general everything that I am is here and

the interesting thing about this mental suitcase is

that as I go traveling through the

world power unpacking things well and

Tying him new things

I want to show you and I want you

let’s talk about three things that both of you

as I keep in our suitcase and the

measure and as we travel with these

three things are being transformed as

that we are adding stamps to our

passport

so I want to start by showing you the

1st the first one that comes tied the

July 25, 2012

at that time he was 22 years old yet

makes it look sold and then

I want to start by opening the suitcases and

you help someone not already with the microphone

also after opening the suitcase to

show them what what I to that day

on July 25 , 2002

on July 25 , 2012

I was going to travel for the first time outside of

country alone and I was going to live now

yes for six months and it’s already so

unconscious he was not had

idea that is already tied to my mind and

I realized that they are paid

because that day when I was in the

airport they arrested me because they thought

who was carrying drugs in the suitcase and carries

this mine of mine that paralyzes a fear

that what does not shake that the

heart starts to throb and it’s going to

tell how happened this time watching is not

from my parents of my boyfriend

I entered the waiting room is

thinking about everything he was leaving

back when it suddenly starts to

listen how a some legs that

it was moving in the direction and

looked up and searched and searched and

Denny a fairly young man and I

is looking and at the moment when

cross view

I knew that this man is looking for me

to me the Lord stood in front of me

abruptly and the left pocket

He took out a plaque and told me policeman

airport indications or passport and

tell me where you are going and I opened the

His eyes passed passport and read today

words and he said look at the passport me

I look at me

look, I’m going to be honest here, there’s something

that is very weird

I see her very nervous and I need

take it to me I need to check the suitcase and

that you accompany me at that time I

I did not know what to think

was completely blank I started to

tremble if they do not have a tear and and

I no longer make my gmail call

dads my family still be at

airport and already warned them with you

no problem and the Lord took me from

the strong hand like no one ever

has taken my hand he told me not to

import

you who have to call do not go

to talk to anyone and we’re going to in this

moment I froze m

I started crying and I do not know how and

we ended up in a white room that smelled

as chemists there were two people

more and an x-ray machine

they took my suitcase they opened it

they sculpted everything they broke certain things

they passed me one or two times through the

machine and not find because they do not carry

at the end of the year since with you

but then he pulled this story to

collation because precisely one of the

first things we have that the

mental processes that we have to

check when we go on a trip is that

precisely the fear we have to

face it and question and that is that I

asked mirandesa that situation

retrospective because if I knew that I did not

I had drugs because I was scared and that

is what I want precisely that

let’s answer today let’s look at why

happened is because I had good I as

Silvia said I’m a business anthropologist

I am a cultural analyst and what I do and

What I do is precisely to

observe situations like these

social situations question them

and there to take solutions

so I want us to look at what

it was just mine and that there is

nor analyze and matching as

you as anthropologists and analysts

cultural and wonders sorry but there

gauze and natalia knew that he had no

they had to the goal because we are because

had well and history well what

I told you there is a woman in the story

that I am a young policeman man and a

airport scene

let’s review then what’s inside

those three things are three things that

our mind works like little folders

woman police and airport all full

of information sheets and sheets of

information

morresi throughout our lives I go to

put a natal axis woman in

Latin America and I’m not necessarily

of agreement in latin america women

so be it is associate partner normally

with fragility with weakness and my mind

took that folder out that information and

then in a parallel way he said police and

justice or corruption and it is also

man and he grabbed my strong arm

dominant and then enters the

gender issues to work on my

mind my head and take out that

information then we had airport a

place where any emotion that does not

have is maximized and that gave like

result the recipe for the day to

today with this and what is my putt my point

is that all day every day

our head what is doing

our mind is legend is oscar petit

almost trying to interpret the world

according to the information you receive

and that’s where that comes from

information from our family of

our friends from the university of the

means and it’s information that we say that

it is reduced to a certain cultural system

like the Colombian are the Colombians and

how that community

we receive certain information

his person said a person

italian

suddenly gender issues nole

Nole are born or do not jump in the head

in a situation like that he is not afraid

to other things and that’s the interesting thing and

what happens when not already when you do not travel

that folder that one has

or that mind that one has that has been

molded the Colombian is changing and

is transforming because it is not receiving

information from other cultures says

come on

things are not so old the world does not

it has to be only from this

way and that’s when the mind gets

will expand and one then have the

opportunity to question things like that

Lord fear and he realizes when

open to everyone

when he does not open it and question things

and he goes out and realizes that fear

it is empty that the information that

they have given me this it gives certain that I

I have the opportunity to question the

things and is the first the first idea that

I want to leave you today does not have the

ability to catch the boxes that do not

they have the head

specifically the fear when traveling and

question it

let’s say somehow to break free

is now I want to tell you about the second

thing of the second mental change that

does not have when there was and that is strange

awareness and to talk about the

awareness

I want to talk about one thing I

has been happening for 56 years in my

Facebook

I do not know if you also gave 56 years

that every month every week

a friend of mine an acquaintance of mine public

that is ready to eat the world and

then put the photo at the airport

and after two days the end of

instagram camilo rodríguez hashtag

livingston in joint and then the photos

of the exotic food of the trips of

the people who are knowing and and what

it is more now it turns out that one can

let the routine give up work

leave so I do not stop for india to

thailand go eat the world and one

it says hear it is not precise moment until

today is not super interesting or

eating the world is the best

and I ask myself one thing really

eat the world those or with is the world

is going to take the 2,000 photos in

facebook or publish on instagram in

instagram block then the stories that

one wants

from my perspective there is something that

that we have eaten the world and let’s say

that Mexico is at that point those that

We have traveled the world

we do not publish on social networks

we share and will explain what is

the real meaning of eating salmon now

eat the world goes the next

fringe or does not go on a trip

let’s say that live work study and the

first month is not told ready this I’m going

to know new things I will do

friends how to make my apartment

everything is new to me and then at

second month the joy I’m already

making friends I’m leaving rumba

I’m eating things that you can not imagine

in colombia the third month a shipment is

says but I also miss my

mom also strange place where

I was going to lunch in Bogota and my friends and

they’re having fun

it is also needed and in the fourth month

we are talking about it is a long month

that is a long trip in the room

month or so

there comes a time that will change the

life forever and it’s the big moment

of introspection and it comes when one

is in the supermarket when they are

Sunday at home watching netflix and it’s

as if I did not have a mirror there in the

place to catch it and it’s time

in which one has the opportunity to

observe and analyze yourself how to be

human and does not stay and leave questions

do not come then for the moment who I am

what do I want that comes to

do this trip well because I feel what

I feel or because I think what he thinks

and that great moment

that’s what it really means

eating the world means that you go to

have lunch and make a cigar and

complete self-knowledge

is really eating the world may

evaluate yourself as a human being and have

that opportunity and ha and that’s the second

idea that I want to leave you when not to

avia heart has the opportunity to

eat the world and understand the world

of a stake and one is the only

responsible for creating it otter

and organize it as night and here goes the

thirdly that I want to leave you today the

empathy

is that when traveling and so

parallel in which you are getting to know us

observing doing check list

of what one wants or not at the same

time is living with other

people friends exeter colleagues and that

it means that you also have to open

to those people and one realizes

then he says ‘ well if I took the

moment to look at myself in the mirror and say

I think what I want to do

where do i go

let’s give the opportunity to other people who

tell me your sling and it has happened to me

today and in Sweden for two years I

it happened that I had the opportunity to

share with coworkers and

friends from china to the united kingdom russia in

fi and when the world is not made and treats

of listening to the other one happens is that he had

a colleague from china and I a

co-worker and I entered the

working meeting with the with china

and we sat down and we’re all

gathered and the Chinese weighed and jobs

lost in an hour and there and I good and

I was super excited about it today is

super good if you liked everything went

how we wanted to zone

we have to change everything and I believe as

If that’s how I saw you doing all day and

then when it improves the world understands

and not waiting for what is the

history of this person from the country of

where it comes from what they are trying

create I said not what they try

create is a certain sense of

past past stability is history its

culture their ideology and there like that

I started that process of empathy the same

have a partner from the uk already

these and in meetings was identical

if we have to talk if we have to

behave we know if it was super

daughter grid

relax that they are flirting and no no

and prospered could no longer understand

try inter

give it and it turns out that they taught that

to be a good person was to be educated and

it was educated was to behave like this

and good that I understand and the same happened

with a lot of other people of different

cultures and that’s where I understood and

reach as this level of empathy that

continues to develop what is and very

important that one that one understands that

the world does not sit down and one is not

only in his hand is he sharing

with thousands of worlds and that is important

and necessary that to be able or to be able to

grow as a person who does not leave the

me and start creating the world from

of the idea of we say that those

are the three gifts that my travels

have allowed unpacking questions and in

certain way continue to transform not

because it is a process I think I give you

all the way

what is my invitation and what is

what I think today to be very frank

with you

I think that not necessarily one has

than waiting to leave the country to

work on what one has in his mind

and that’s why I want to propose I want

propose to them to think about their life as

a long trip that has different

stages and each stage is as if one

I was entering a country I did not

go putting a stamp on it and and think

in them and when they are in those

different stages of his life

dare to remove these things and others from

your suitcase to question them

and finally to everything that we came

us or the human being to break their

own limits

Thank you

[Applause]
