This evening after work I packed my handbag, took my bekjassje, got on a train and went to the airport.
I didn’t travel anywhere else this time. Instead I went to the airport to meet up with a friend who has a long layover.
We became friends in Peru while we worked on the same project. We even had some fun travel adventures together. So I was so glad to meet up with her, a year since we last saw each other.
Of course I had planned to visit her in London this year, but then a lot of travel plans changed a bit.
I was just lucky to spend a lovely evening seeing my old friend. Sharing stories of shared memories, and making new ones!
When we meet new people, it’s not always easy to tell if they will be a part of this your life until much later. But in my experience everyone we met helps us define the person we end up being.
I for one am lucky to have met some pretty awesome people in my life so far.
Be kind. Stay safe.
