Recently, I got a call from a friend who requested me to host her friend, who was travelling across countries, at my home. Though our group started biking exchange a while back but it happened only for our members going to other country and we never got to host anyone. I was afraid to think about the reaction of my parents when they will get to know that I am hosting a stranger. However I decided to ask my parents for permission as I knew that having people with different experiences at my home will help my family to see the world from a different perspective.
Luckily my parents agreed and I invited Hannah Buss to keep her bike at my home while she went for volunteering with an NGO and then to stay with us for two days before leaving back to Scotland after her six months long trip.
As I had expected she shared beautiful stores with my family about the cultures of different countries that she visited during her adventure and also about the life in her town. I also went for a ride with her along with other riders of Pedal Pushers and showed her the city.
She also prepared a continental dinner for us as she wanted to reverse host and everyone ,loved it (despite the zero spices) Everyone in my family got inspired from the stories she shared and the new perspective on living life.
Finally she left for her journey back leaving us with a beautiful experience and taking the same.
I hope to get more of such experience and wish that we become more global yet humbler with experiences like these.
