The article reflects on the experiences of a traveler who prefers sketching over photography, highlighting the benefits of travel sketchbooks in promoting social interactions. The author narrates an incident in Cuenca, where a chance encounter with a young man leads to a mutual exchange—drawing a portrait in return for a ride. The author emphasizes how sketching serves as a bridge for conversations, especially for introverts, and encourages others to embrace this form of expression. Travel sketching also offers a personal touch to capturing moments compared to traditional photography.
Travel sketchbooks serve as wonderful conversation starters. They attract attention, spark interactions, and encourage fellow travelers to share experiences and even join in the drawing.
Without a camera to document my travels, I rely on sketches to capture the essence of each place. It’s a unique perspective that fosters creativity.
