New People

We always meet the nicest people when we travel. Sometimes it is just a brief exchange, but occasionally we get to discuss something. Language isn’t very much of a barrier for Shawn and I so we talk to just about anyone that we come across. The amazing thing is that most people respond with courtesy, grins and a pleasant bit of conversation. Occasionally someone thinks we are after their money, spot in line or some other mundane treasure in their lives, but they usually come around. Leading with kindness and compassion is never a mistake. A friendly smile reaches beyond language and cultural barriers.
