Me + 10,000 people + 1 hour each
THE MEETINGS
There is no structure or agenda to the hour meetings – it is simply two people spending an hour together, getting to know each other
Sometimes we go on an adventure…
Sometimes I learn something new…
Most times, though, are spent in a cafe or park just beginning a friendship.
THE GOAL
My goal is simply to meet 10,000 strangers. I believe that genuine human connection is something important in today’s world and it’s also something that makes me happy. This journey is my way of leading by example. If anything, my hope is to encourage others to take the initiative to reach out to someone new and be open to establishing new relationships.
THE DOCUMENTATION
I document the project on my instagram @robs10kfriends. I take a picture with each person I meet and write a short post about our hour together. The account is a medium through which to complete the project and allows followers a glimpse into the hour we spent together.
If you are reading this, I literally want to meet you
Too many times I receive messages from people saying they’d like to meet but don’t think they are interesting enough. I believe every person is interesting and every person has a story to tell – I want to meet you!
*IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not interviewing people. A big misconception of the project is that I have a set of questions and interview you – that is not the case. There is no agenda, no recorder, no notes, no set of questions. We spend the hour making a genuine connection and everything posted on instagram is from memory of our time together 🙂
