One of my favorite aspects of traveling is meeting
new people along the way. I met some pretty amazing people while I stayed in
Puerto Rico! Let me introduce to you the great and wise….WILSON! Esmie and I
met him when he was driving us to one of our tours. He was hilarious and so
kind that we clicked as friends so quickly! We invited him to dinner later and
we ended up hanging out quite a few times after that. Wilson is a friend that I
plan on having for a lifetime. He took us around the city and even ended up
driving us to the rainforest as well. I will never forget how sweet and
thoughtful he is. It felt as though all of my troubles were lifted when we were with him. I know that
the next time I go to Puerto Rico I will for sure take time to meet him again!
Esmie and I were so lucky to meet him while we were there!

We met two beautiful ladies named Carmen and
Stephanie while in our hostel. Carmen is Stephanie’s mom and they are both
Puerto Rican. They have been to Puerto Rico many times and visit for about two
weeks each time they come. They are strong Jehovah Witnesses who love to share
with you a sweet message from God. Their light and testimony shined in all that
they did. They are both so compassionate, understanding, and fun to be around!
Their smiles and laughs light up a room and it was fun spending time with them!
They took us to a local restaurant to enjoy some BBQ and even
helped us get to Wal-Mart . Esmie and I would come back from a full day
of fun and would sit out on the balcony with these two and just chat about what
we believed, our families, and the jobs we all didn’t want to go back to. They
are a wonderful pair, reminded me of the beauty in a mother/daughter
friendship.

This is Guy. He is from London and he has a love of
traveling and of life. He also stayed in our hostel! He is really funny and
enjoys giving you a great laugh. We didn’t have the chance to get to know him
super well since we met him towards the end of our stay, but it was fun to sit
at the table in the hostel and just talk with him about whatever we wanted to
talk about. It was inspiring to see him as a back pack traveler willing to go
where the wind takes him. Great guy! (No pun intended)
