The Travel Experience I Love the Most

I feel that as long as I am authentically nice with no chips on my shoulders, people will tend to gravitate towards me wherever I go. Everywhere I go, I've made friends and got their contact info and even added me on their social media profile. Even people who don't speak English. They would just use a translator to communicate with me. These people are from different races, countries, continents, religions, and economic levels, richest to the very poor. Even kids and pets just approach me just like that. Kids would talk to me in their own language, and some dogs would even just come up to me and play with me. Also just today, I was surprised to get a nice handwritten card from someone I just met and had a few minutes of conversation, welcoming me in her city, considering that she barely speaks any English, and I also barely speak Mandarin. Some would open up and tell me their most private Stories, even when they just met me as if I were their best friend. I can't believe they are able to trust me so easily. I learn so much about a country just by listening to its people's Stories. I just love these experiences. It's something that I treasure. That's why I love living in different countries and learning about different cultures and their histories. I just want to be a world citizen. It's a much better world. These experiences are just priceless. They're authentic, no BS. Very unconditional. That's why I have so much empathy For people.
