It was in her melancholic look that lingered at the reception desk that I found reasons to ask her for a quote. As she had just said and hugged Sergio goodbye - whom she and her friend connected with over the last few days - I saw that her last goodbye left her a little unsettled. Possibly that this quote summed up beautifully what it was to appreciate and live moments of new found friendships that you live so intensively during your travels, that necessarily the joy of it cannot be followed without a bit of sadness. But if there´s anything I've learned so far in travel, it is that necessarily without the sadness, the joy might just not be as real.
