Disconnecting is a hard thing to do in a world where everyone around us is physically present but otherwise occupied within the confines of cyberspace, spending more time documenting their everyday life on the internet than actually living in the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, you might be surprised to find out that smiles, unexpected friendships and life changing experiences are closer than you think\u2026 all you need to do is keep your head up and not let them pass you by. This got us thinking of fun yet simple ways of unplugging and reconnecting with the tangible world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"891\" src=\"https:\/\/dee-goo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/debrancher.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dee-goo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/debrancher.jpg 630w, https:\/\/dee-goo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/debrancher-212x300.jpg 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And so Friday\u2019s UNPLUGGED came to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The premise is simple: every Friday, Zestolog\u00ef will propose creative ways to reach out and reconnect with others without using mobile phones or the internet as a crutch. We hope this opportunity will allow you to re-explore the wonderful world of hand written notes, real smiles (not emoticons) and speaking with people over coffee as opposed to over chat or Skype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Challenge accepted?
