The communication of messages through personal information forges connections with an audience of friends and family, which reflects the dynamics of personal identity and relationships. Functioning within time, place and space becomes meaningful when explored through language whose purpose is seeking directions in the target language within the context of orientation in a city environment. Culture in a Francophone context impacts on gastronomy and reveals that personal and cultural expression helps to define a specific purpose in mind. Empathy is more likely to occur when forging connections with people on a global scale through travel.
