We don't meet people by accident.

I know how it feels to travel alone and I was very much happy to take the time off to accompany Regina on her last day here in the Philippines. 🇵🇭 We met in Cebu and decided to catch up in Manila before her flight to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 and then back to Munich 🇩🇪 she goes.

Earlier today, I asked myself, "Is it worth it to invest your time with somebody whom you know will leave anyway?" 🤔

As I previously posted, we don't meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our paths for a reason.

And the answer to my morning musing is: Yes, of course. There are so many reasons why it's nice to meet people whose culture is different from what you are comfortable with.

A lot of locals have taken their time to spend time with me when I was out of my country. Thus, the least I can do is paying it forward when somebody visits my home country.

I hope you find yourself back in the Philippines one day, Regina! I had a really great day.

Thank YOU for allowing me to look at my home with a different perspective. I really found some good stuff to buy. 🤣

Maybe one day, Russia 🇷🇺.
