Explore Nunavut!

I have arrived in Nunavut, a new land and a new country for me. On the plane flying here, I got to thinking about how I engage a place for the first time, and considered how I had changed over time in this regard. One's personality comes into play, as do education and experience. But are there any strategies common to us all or are we all as different as stones on the beach when it comes to interacting with a new place? How we answer, or perhaps more accurately how well we explore this question, would seem to have field study related implications and opportunities for students and staff alike.
What do you do? Have your approaches changed the more you have traveled? What would you do if you were me right now?

I'm certain that we construct our own realities and that your view of what's happening on Baffin is quite different from what mine, or a student's view would be.
Just listening to the audio post of the student we could hear how much of our understanding is influenced by where we are and what we have done.
Sir.
I am following your blog with interest.
I've long believed that every experience contains two things, what we bring to it and what we take away.
Good thing to remember even when you're only in the conventional north, with something new every day...
I have a new musician to introduce you to up on your return.
Until then, travel safely.
