About Me

My photo
I'm not doing this project to necessarily make new longterm friends, or go have a drink with these people. Nor is it to pass any judgements on ones life. My goal is to simply meet interesting, and maybe not so interesting strangers who I wouldve never taken the time to talk to otherwise. One that may differ, or perhaps relate to my own life. So many times, you walk past someone, and they wont even raise their head in the slightest to say hello. I'll never understand why. The challenge to myself is not only to surpass that simple hello with one person a day, but to convince them to look into my lens and tell me something about themselves. My name is Amanda Surkin, and this is my journey of meeting 100 new faces. Take the time to listen, you may learn something :)

Stranger #82

Meet Meagan.

"I've been studying French for 6 years, and I'm finally studying in France for a year, and taking all of my classes in French. I'm going to stay in Southern France. I'm doing it more independently through American University of Provence. You live with a host family your entire stay, and you don't meet them until they pick you up from the airport. I'll be spending 6 months in Aix-en-Provence with a host family, and the next 6 months in Marseille with another host family. They're 20 min apart, but very different cultures! That's been my goal." - Meagan
