I have given hugs all around the world:)
I have even met people doing this that the hug I was giving them was the first hug they have gotten in three years:(
What I have found is many people in life want touch in a non sexual way, but don't nowhere to get it.
The cool thing about giving out hugs with a free hugs sign is you are not embarking on anyones personal space they are coming up to you.
With a free hug sign you are creating a safe place for hugs.
I have even took it a step further by having a hug menu on the back of my hug signs and included musicians playing as well.
I have a challenge for you all:
Go out and hug someone today:)
