My name is Julianna, i toured with robbie stokes in 2013 around the united states meeting strangers and speaking to groups of children and adults in many states. I have always felt comfortable talking to strangers because i always knew that strangers are just friends you have yet to make. The world needs more communication- especially with the growth of technology. We spend more time with our heads down and eyes on our phones than we do lending a hand and starting a friendly conversation. Start a conversation with a stranger, you never know- they may be the person who will change your life forever.<3 Namaste to all of you beautiful strangers. I hope to meet all of you one day.

I met my boyfriend as a stranger and that stranger is the one who is bringinging the best out of me. He's a congolese and am a south african .

Simple & effective action, ego-less. Beautiful.

Robbie Stokes is inspiring! Loved this, 'if you don't talk to strangers how do you make friends?'Beautiful

I am a storyteller who tries to help others tell their story and listen to the stories that others tell. When we listen to each other's life stories, what we think divides us dissolves and we see that at the core of humanity, we are unique in our life experiences but we are all the same in how we experience life! One-on-one interaction with others where true listening occurs can heal us. Thank you for this important work and message.

Wow. I talk to strangers too! I loved that he said he's listening to them, he saw that helping the world means connecting the world. That is SO true. Also, that there are a lot of friendly people out there, so we should talk to them so we can make friends and find good people. When we hear people, quietly, they have so many things to say. I've known a couple of quiet people in my life. I learned to get really quiet, so I could allow them the time and pace and safety for me to hear them. I am honoured when people do the same for me.
This woman was visiting from New York, this weekend, for a folk festival, in my small city in Western Canada. I smiled at her because she was in another shopping tent with me before and I recognized her, like hey! we're in the same tent again :) We started chatting and she told me about performing and all. Then she said she liked our place here. I thought she meant my city, but she said she likes the clothes. haha. I was like, oh, this isn't my store. I'm just friendly :) Then I realised, probably in New York you don't randomly talk to strangers. But my father and mother did, when I was a kid, so I started to, too. The small town feel of my church was that way, too, old men nudging you with their elbows, imparting amusing insights with a smile, making small talk about the weather or the construction on the roads, or local events. It just makes everyone's heart warmer. So... this is the best thing you know. It's the best thing. We are people. We can talk to each other. "I like to look at people and greet them as we go by. I think human beings should recognize each other's existence." ~ Rachel E. MacDonald. Peace and healing to each of you. Rachel.

Let me stop crying first, and then I can say: Thank God for you Robbie Stokes. It's the only way to connect - to say hello and find a new conversation.

It is the spirit of community and a zest for knowing other's stories. The idea that he and others are seeking out a different twist on life. And touching others in a way that many are afraid of...taking a chance and gaining so much.

I've always believed in what I call the one to one revolution and this man's dream takes it to a much higher level. It's good to see 'following your bliss' in such beautiful action.

The openness to meeting strangers while making a connection.
Hearing and listening are not the same.

As we Know Strangers, there are NO Strangers. Here's to reaching out to each other. Listening. Learning and Loving.
