Every one of you has traveled at some point, or shown an interest in the world around you. You’ve lived on a shoestring, or exchanged ideas with other backpackers. So I know you’ll understand what I wrote in this competition piece: that our community grows stronger when we give and take without cost. And learning a language is one of the easiest, greatest ways we can share!
“Share or Die” is a competition sponsored by Shareable online magazine. As the title hints, it is also a campaign to raise our understanding of a new, growing global system: SHARING to survive.
