India’s colorful culture, delicious food and historical buildings have always attracted tourists from all over the world. But many times, more than these places, foreign tourists remember the friendliness and behavior of the people here for the rest of their life. Something similar happened with Paige, a famous female traveler from Australia. Paige traveled solo in different parts of India for a month and when she returned to her country, she shared a very emotional video on social media about Indian hospitality, which is now going viral on the internet.
I stepped in with fear, but never felt lonely.
Paige often shares travel vlogs and reels from around the world on her social media accounts. She told in her recent video that before coming to India, being a woman, she was a little scared and worried about safety and loneliness. Backpacking alone in an unknown country is not easy. But his fear completely disappeared as soon as he stepped into India. Page said that he never felt lonely during the entire one month journey. The people here not only remain engrossed in their own world, but also come forward and help when they see a stranger in trouble.
When Delhi’s cab driver set an example of humanity at midnight
In her video, the page shared a very special and heart-touching incident from the country’s capital Delhi. She told that when she reached Delhi late at night, the main road and market around her hotel was completely closed. Due to the deserted road, he was afraid to reach the hotel on foot.
In such a situation, what his Uber cab driver did, won Paige’s heart. Instead of just dropping them on the road, the driver himself got down from the car, picked up their luggage and walked with them to the safe entrance of the hotel. Paige said emotionally, “The driver didn’t even know me, yet he made my safety his priority in the middle of the night. This small but big thing can happen only in India.”
When the shopkeeper gave a unique gift when he did not have change
Sharing another funny and cute experience, the Australian vlogger told that once she went to a medical store to buy some medicines. After the bill was made, when it came time for payment, the shopkeeper did not have change to return the page. Normally in such a situation people argue or take the goods back, but instead of the change, the Indian shopkeeper smilingly gifted a bottle of hand sanitizer to Paige so that the score is evened out and the foreign guest does not feel bad.
