Sensual has a number of meanings. I use the term 'sensual' in the context of using all of your senses to completely absorb and drink in your surroundings when you travel; observing, respecting and accepting the space you occupy when travelling and using your senses to recieve the beauty of the moment.
I try to avoid judging when I travel, I like to quietly observe. If I ever find myself raising an eyebrow, I try and step back from the situation, remind myself that as much as I try, I will always have anglo-saxon, caucasion, gender-equalist tainted glasses on, and that my way of looking at the world is only one way of looking at the world.
If you take the time to turn a prism you can see a series of yet one beautiful colour after another. If you look at a situation with different pairs of eyes, you can get an entirely new set of assumptions.
