I wish I could still travel - health & finances mostly scupper it these last few years. But I've met so many people on trains going wherever.
But I remember one lady with a dog, who was across the aisle and a seat down from me, tho we were facing each other. She had a doggo. Don't ask me the breed I don't know, but beautiful chocolate brown with floppy ears, some sort of spaniel maybe? Anyway it wanted to be friends. And it also wanted to look out of my window specifically. Could have looked out its owner's window but nope. I spent most of the trip with the dog sat on my lap, assuring the lady it was absolutely fine ๐
One of many, just the first that came to mind ๐ I love making random connections, whether momentary or lasting ๐
Could imagine all of these people so clearly in my brain! It reminded me of a trip I did after a festival up in Scotland where I made friends with a few people who were heading to London. When I getting off in Birmingham, I realised that it was a goodbye and we were parting ways but didnโt want to so exchanged details. Sometimes travelling companions are such powerful encounters. Not necessarily people that you would ever think to chat to but then something magical happens when youโre on the road or on a journey that just gives people the commonality to speak to each other like old friends ๐งก I love it. Thank you for sharing so beautifully xo
