What is it about travel that brings you so close to people you barely know?
Perhaps it is the shared joy or misery of travel.
Perhaps being in a culture or place so different from home that it makes us more open to new experiences and meeting people.
Vulnerability can be a catalyst and a glue.
We are all from different places, countries, lifestyles, and experiences.
Yet, we develop such a strong rapport.
In an instant we all become friends and in another we separate and go our own ways.
Back to home, work or go off to further travel with pinkie promises to stay in touch or meet on another day on the road in a new place or invites to visit one another’s home.
Will it happen? Will these ties bind?
Time will tell. I hope so, but it doesn’t change the days we were bound on a great Adventure. . .
Together.
As Friends.
