Read as many Yelp reviews as your heart desires, but one travel writer believes the best way to have an experience that makes an impact is to let some things happen spontaneously. We learn how we can create our own in-the-moment moments. We also talk about the best way to learn a foreign language and discuss how to let a recently widowed acquaintance know you’re there for them.
