During today’s discussion group I met with Sabrina Lindley, David Macmulle, and Haley Myers discussed Mikayla Medycki’s topic of what changes an experience for someone. There was a misinterpretation of where to meet due to the cold weather, so the 4 of us met separately. Our group discussed different things that can influence someone’s experience. One of those ways is by going with a tour guide. By this people cannot see things for their own. They are told all information by the guide leaving nothing for them to find out for themselves. Another thing that can affect someone’s experience is the time of day that you go. If you go at night you will not get to see the natural colors of the environment as someone who goes during the day. Lastly, we talked about how researching where you are going can affect your experience. By researching where you are going before you actually go, you have a preconceived idea of what you are going to see. Once you have this idea in your head, you will not be able to experience your trip for what it is. You will just continue to compare what you found online to what you are actually experiencing.
