Your wings already exist. All you have to do is fly.
I had a new couchsurfing host since I hadn’t been able to contact my original host in Hamburg. I arrived at Himanshu’s apartment and he greeted me warmly at his door. Then I learnt that Himanshu himself had just arrived in this apartment a few hours ago from India, and that this was actually his first day in the apartment! He said he had just relocated to Hamburg because of work and that his company had arranged everything for his stay. He was happy to share with travelers like me and he could use some company. His apartment was spacious and really modern, and I felt really lucky to be the first guest he received at his house. He was really welcoming and nice too.
I finally got in touch with my original host, Sam, who was really apologetic because he had given me the wrong number and wanted to make up by showing me around Hamburg before I left for Copenhagen. It turned out that he was really witty, fun and lovely to talk to as well, so I quickly forgave him for what happened. He was very knowledgeable about Hamburg and took me to many beautiful places and areas to visit. That day was also a clear and nice day unlike the gloomy weather the day before. Hamburg had many bridges and water around it so it felt really beautiful to walk around.
The nine people I met in Germany were so amazing and that reminded me of something I often shared in my podcast. There are no strangers; only friends you haven’t met. They were so kind and sweet, and the hustle and bustle of Germany didn’t bother me anymore. Due to the friendly people I met there and the beautiful scenery, I left with a very good impression of Germany!
Stay tuned...there’s much more to come!
In the next episode I’ll be sharing interesting stories that occured in Copenhagen, Denmark.
