find Lifelong friendships
The three of us met on the island of Ko Lipe in Thailand in 06 - a place we loved so much, we were in the month. The three of us were close friends at this time. At the end of it, as if we had known each other for years was. But have expired with my visa, I had to go. But when I left the island, Paul and Jane took me to visit them in New Zealand promise. It was something I could easily do.
Four years later, I finally arrived in New Zealand. Despite the amount of time that had passed, when I saw her, it was as if it had not been a time between us. All jokes and mutual understanding, which we had on Lipe had made still there.
I often feel that the "rawness" of travel to instant friends can cause a lifetime. You meet someone once and in a moment, feel like you've known them for years. As fellow travelers we already have common bonds that make between us friendship likely. That does not mean that we all become best friends, of course, but I think traveling away all our luggage and our history that we carry around frequently.
My travels around the world have made me many close and lifelong friends. The people of La Tomatina. Friends of Ios. Friends like Paul and Jane. Friends from my time in Bangkok. Friends I not seen for years, but to send me invitations to her wedding.
and friends as Erik and Anne. I met her while I we had in Bruges in 09 for a few days of beer taste good Belgium and hit it off so well that we ended up going together for a week to Amsterdam. I saw them a few months later, when I stopped in Copenhagen, but not seen since then still talked a lot with them. We have caught us in our lives.
But now I am leaving Copenhagen after they have just the last 5 days with them. As with Paul and Jane, it was as if Erik, Anne and I had never been apart. Before the conversation flowed as easily and quickly as in 09. We caught doing again right as if time our friendship was frozen as well as two years.
I do not know how many people I've met in the last five years of travel. to guess to countless to begin. As you meet so many people on the street, it's hard to keep up with all of them, to get away, especially the further you on your journey. Even with the best intentions, messages may fade as separate lives begin to be performed.
But sometimes you meet a Paul and Jane. Or Erik and Anne. Or a Joel. Or a mate. Or a Nick. Or countless others. And it does not matter how long it's been since the last time she was seen. Time can not just break that bond you have. It can take months or years, but whenever it is that you pick up where you left off.
And that is the greatest gift that I think travel to us are.
