Q2: Share a story of unexpectedly running into a friend while you were traveling. What happened? Got a pic? #CultureTrav


A2: Nothing too wild or a pic to share for this one, but I do usually run into people I know at airports! #CultureTrav

A2: Years ago when I was at college, 2 of my friends who did not know each other reached out over Facebook. I learned that not only were they both now living and working in Berlin, but they happened to be interning at the same organization. What are the odds of that? #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A2: After having a long layover in Atlanta and drinking the entire time, we ran into my then-girlfriend's co-worker outside of our gate. We chatted for a while, and then realized that as we chatted, the doors has closed and our plane left. Whoops! #CultureTrav

A2. I've never run into a friend, but I ran into Ian, this British guy who used to do a travel show on PBS, in India. That was so fun #CultureTrav

A2 I was with my parents in Seattle for all of about 6 hours. We parked the car and started walking to Pike Place Market when I heard my name. My friend was in town for a conference and happened to see me walking by. #culturetrav https://t.co/0Bb8cRfDgS

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A2: Last month at Hong Kong airport while awaiting my flight to NZ, I saw a woman who I met when I lived in Fiji. She'd posted on FB that she was in the airport flying back to NZ. Different flight, but we managed to catch each other for 3 min before I had to board! #CultureTrav

A2. Randomly ran into my childhood neighbors in Amsterdam while passing by a small flower market. Grateful that we weren't in the Red Light District. ;)

A2. Not a friend, but we once met a couple in Antigua we wound up having dinner with a couple of times. On our second evening together, we found out they were online friends with one of my husband's cousins. #CultureTrav


replying to @travelcricket8 @travelcricket8 A2: No running into friend but I ran into a Nigerian in Denmark, which was kinda rare seeing as we're clustered mostly in western Europe.#CultureTrav

replying to @travelcricket8 @travelcricket8 A2 Making new friends in Montego Bay, Jamaica, from Victoria, B.C. discovering he went to the same highschool and that we had mutual friends was serendipitous. We have since travelled together to Costa Rica. #CultureTrav

replying to @travelcricket8 @travelcricket8 A2 This hasn't happened to me yet. Maybe it's because I'm always running behind schedule on some mode of transportation. #CultureTrav


replying to @travelcricket8 @travelcricket8 A2: I went to the top of the Empire State Building to rendezvous with a love interest who traveled from France to see me. A family I knew from my hometown happened to be there. He saw saw talking to them (before I saw him!)& thought I brought them for protection. 😅#culturetrav
