Yes she is! Which why I created a thread in the general forum applauding her "inspiration".
For those that want to live your life as full as possible, don't "wish", JUST DO IT!!!
Happy travels..
Thank you all for the support!!
Some folks in general SMH at me and of course some Hmong folks really SMH at me, lol!!
Running into other travelers and having folks back at home support my idea is what keeps me going.
When I first started I was scared sh*tless but on my connecting flight from Hong Kong to Dubai (when I first started my trip) I guess you can say I met an angel.
I didn't know anybody and I didn't know what was waiting for me in Dubai. All I had was a hotel booked for 1 week. I even wondered if i would fly back home asap, lol!
Anyways, the angel was my seat mate. She was this bubbly little Filipina sitting in the middle seat and had the biggest smile on her face. As I started to sit down she asked the flight attendant to switch seats as she was in the middle seat and wanted an aisle seat. While the flight attendant walked around to look for an aisle seat, we started chatting it up. Moments later the flight attendant returned and told her that there was an aisle seat available. My new bubbly friend replied "Nevermind, its okay I just made a new friend". From that moment on I knew everything would be okay.
Its moments like these that keep me going and of course we are still friends to this day. I have gone back to visit her again and she's invited me over again for the summer to stay with her but I politely declined as it will be a scorcher there! Anyways..just thought I'd share this moment with you guys.
