One of the rewarding things about traveling to unknown places is that you’ll always be surprised in unexpected ways by what you’ll encounter along the journey. The surprising factor can be anything unique to a place from a peculiar scent to a colorful landscape to the flavors of typical dishes. Yet, the one factor that always brings a smile to my face and a very particular feeling of joy is people’s acts of kindness, especially when they happen randomly, when you don’t see them coming.
