Short explanation of the story and how it developed: Bjorn Truk set out four years ago to tour the globe using only his smartphone. The self-described "Social Traveler" has fuelled his adventures on the benevolence of people he's met via social media. Brett Ruskin caught up with Truk as he embarked on the Canadian leg of his journey to learn about the Social Traveler and his message. In a time when social media use is often seen as a habit that must be broken, Truk explains that proper use of social media tools can help you connect with people in real life, embark on unique experiences, and confront new challenges. |
