I really relate to the feeling of being comfortable with strangers because there is no expectation. Thank you for sharing your perspective — as always Sydney

I was so excited to see this new article!! And adore the theme of connecting with strangers, especially as I’m about to embark on a new chapter soon - you’re reminding me what I love about travel and meeting new people! Xx so proud of you for always trusting the process no matter where it takes you, for having empathy and hope through the disappointments too <3

Such a beautiful piece Sydney, and one I’m finding so much resonance in as I’m reflecting on my own travels. I feel like there’s definitely a travel “shell” to break out of when it comes to connecting vulnerably and truthfully with strangers, but as I warmed up and began doing so, that’s where the real magic lies. You’ve captured this beautifully
