Do you recognize the feeling of being so immersed in something that the world around you disappears? Recognize the void when disconnected from it?  I founded started designing jewelry based on sand from all over the world (and stories connected to each grain) as a way to connect to ideas, activities, people, and places worldwide.  Why sand? The list is long. For the free-flowing nature of it, for the fact that it can be found in every corner of the world, the way it's the same, yet unique for how it connects to sports, culture, history, technology, academics, construction flora, fauna, and more. Who or what do you want to feel connected with?

Accessorising the woman who’s been to every nation in the world with grains of sand from every nation she’s visited! (Not IRL, only accessorizing the book cover)
 (while reading the book on a forest river bank in Sweden) Nope, I haven’t been to all nations the OUAW sand is from. Kindhearted people from all over the globe helped with collecting. Here’s recommended read by someone who has - Jessica Nabongo, the first Black woman to document traveling to all 195 countries in the world. Still in the midst of reading @TheCatchMeIfYouCan - here's my take: The book is not your typical ”Look How Cool And How Well Traveled I Am” type of book nor a ”You Need to Travel Vastly to Become Someone” book. Jessica shares travel insight, tales of people she’s met, sights beyond tourist hotspots, and experiences of traveling to places few of us even consider. The book (as far as I’ve read) inspires exploring - but not necessarily every nation or even other nations but what is unknown and outside one’s comfort and awareness zone. While not the typical travel guide book, some tips, and things-not-to-miss are here too (how I hope to one day be able to follow the suggestion to visit stall 14 in a specific market in Uganda). I love how Jessica tells stories of less-traveled places in a positive light. It goes with what I aspire to do when sharing random sand-related stories of every nation. I’m sad to read about her experiences traveling as a Black woman, how she many times has found herself the only Black person on a plane of 300, and recurring experiences of being treated differently, for example, by customs officials only based on skin tone. This should be history; it's 2022!!! (For my fellow Swedish people, the book is available in English in Swedish online bookstores.) #thecatchmeifyoucan #travel #mustreads #jewelry
