Traveling is a characteristic of culture, inherent to various societies since the beginning of time. So is the artisanal and artistic work, such as body adornment, jewelry. In contemporary times, characterized by the extensive and rapid circulation of information in all fields, the world, the "global village", seems increasingly possible to be encompassed. This, we could say, makes traveling somewhat of a "venturing forth to meet" what has been glimpsed. Then, the dimension of the inexpressible, which is inherent to traveling, allows us to access the wonder of staying in the chosen place, engaging with its culture, its people. And that's when it becomes an event.
