I landed in a city where I knew nobody.
A stranger drove 3 hours round-trip just to pick me up.
What happened over the next 24 hours reminded me why I travel.
Middle of the night.
Unknown city.
Unknown country.
A man I’d never met before
drove 1.5 hours to pick me up from the airport.
Then another 1.5 hours
to his mother’s house.
I didn’t know what to expect.
She welcomed me with chicken,
rice and homemade salsa.
The next morning,
the best strawberry milkshake I’ve ever had.
Then he showed me the Pacific Ocean.
Then breakfast with his friends.
At this point, I was asking myself…
Why are complete strangers treating me like family?
And this story gets even crazier…
Part 2 Tomorrow!
