DJing in Australia leads to shark sightings and skydives!

Описание: Sharks, skydives, and trippy visuals. That shark definitely knew we were there, he kept coming up to us and doing that splash thing right in front of us! Fun fact, we went swimming a couple hundred meters up the beach after this. I guess Australia desensitizes you eventually to this stuff :D Ah no, i think it’s fine…we went up to an older Australian couple we could see coming down the beach to warn them. My wife was like “careful there is a shark!” and they were like “ahh cool!” lol. They knew their stuff and explained it all to us.

Also, this random encounter lead to one of the most wholesome memories. They had mentioned the name of the small town they were from and we were headed that way later in our road trip and they recommended a restaurant. So when we arrived in that town, we went there but it was closed. It felt like the kind of place where everyone knows each other, so we dropped a note through the door, mentioning the couple (we only knew their first names) and to please pass the note on if they know them. And a few weeks later we got a lovely email from that couple who had received that note!

I think it felt more real or meaningful because you had to work harder for the connection to happen. You had to go out of your way. I think since technology and social media has (amazingly) made connection so easy and cheap, we can ironically find ourselves not connecting. The opportunity cost feels low. If I don’t connect with that person today, there is no consequence. I can just do it tomorrow instead. The felt optionality decreases the perceived cost of inaction.

But if you find yourself falling prey to that feeling, you will keep kicking the can down the road. You’ll never do that thing you wanted to do. You will not reach out.

So the actual cost is real.
