Culture and Experiences
When I was traveling abroad
and I would smell garlic that sweet smell would make me stop and just think. The one memory that would come to mind was eating my Grandmas black beans from
Guatemala. It brought me back to being a teenager spending long summer nights in
Guatemala. It always astonished me that one smell could take me back to a certain place and time.
The more I traveled the more I developed
these memories; I started realizing that we carry our culture and our experiences in our hearts and something simple as a smell, a song or a conversation can take us back in time. Could it be that one of the reasons we are infatuated with Facebook is because we are allowed to put up pictures and posts and revisit our past experiences through pictures, videos and post.
