\nI’m still somewhat just blankly staring at this email I just got. Reading it over and over again. I know many won’t get the same feeling from it, but if you were there, knew the person, and understood what he was going through at the time and how he expressed himself… it’s as if everything clicks into place and makes sense.<\/p>\n

For background info, I did an AMA a while back on travelling around spontaneously with no travel plans<\/a>. I mentioned in that last one I was leaving for another trip in the upcoming week.<\/p>\n

That trip occured this past July, and during it, I decided to hop on a random cruise ship to Croatia where I met this guy.<\/p>\n

We talked and after hearing how I had no place to go when I reached there, he invited me onto his boat\/yacht. Over the course of a 2 days, we sailed around the Adriatic Islands on his private boat, drank beer and just talked. After we docked back into the marina, we said our goodbyes and the only contact I had with him was a single email thanking him for his hospitality.<\/p>\n

This morning, I received this email.<\/p>\n

I still have no idea how to reply or respond to this, but its shocking to know that even the smallest gesture makes the biggest difference in someone’s life.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
