\"No<\/a>
\nIn this days while preparing what to bring in my walkabout, the selection process naturally creates a list of things that are denied access to the backpack.<\/p>\n

Here are the 2 things I will NOT<\/strong> bring with me: notebook<\/strong> and BlackBerry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, they are the 2 objects I use most of the time in my daily life!<\/p>\n

It was an easy decision: this experience has to be done unplugging<\/em> myself from technology and devices that are distracting me from paying attention to what’s really important around me: nature, people, situations. In one word, awareness.<\/p>\n

As I’ve spent most of my time at the PC (including now) in the last 12 years, and I’m using the BlackBerry constantly when I’m travelling for work.
\nHence I take this as a challenge with unknown consequences \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Yes, because if the decision<\/strong> was easy, I’ve no idea how I’ll cope with the consequences on the way. Maybe I’ll discover a new dimension of freedom, maybe I’ll find a nightmare. I welcome both situations, because anyway I’ll discover something about me.<\/p>\n

I have been thinking about not bringing the notebook since the beginning of the planning, replacing it with a limited access to internet points<\/strong>. Yes, I say limited because I know that the Internet points in Latin America are many and are cheap. But last thing I want to do is waste<\/strong> time in front of a PC.<\/p>\n

Let’s clarify: I’m not against using a PC during the trip, I’m against waste<\/strong> my time in front of it!
\nThat’s exactly what I do most of the time here. I can spend hours in front of the monitor wandering around multiple websites with no clear goal and with no action at all.
\nThis is what I don’t want to do there. Not in front of a PC. I can better stay doing nothing in a square, on a bus or in a bar.<\/p>\n

As Henry David Thoreau says in Walden,\u00a0\u201cAs if you could kill time without injuring eternity\u201d…<\/p>\n

Choosing to leave home the BlackBerry took a little bit longer. But when I realized how dependent I am from this device, I horrified.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reading\u00a0this article<\/a> inspired me to definitely decide to go unplug.<\/p>\n

And quoting my dear friend Ana from NYC:<\/p>\n

“the most \u201cConnected\u201d people are the one\u2019s without lap tops, Ipads, computers, Cell phones, and TV\u2019s\u2026”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you ever unplug yourself from technology? How does it feel?<\/p>\n\n\n
