When you travel, find people with true hearts and a generous spirit, the world becomes your home. That is what I found with Sophie. Sophie is a professor and her dog Teddie (Dachsund stole my heart). Sophie was so kind to pick me up from the bus station close by. St Ives is a beautiful little town with so many charity shops and antique shops that I lost myself in that beauty. I had a beautiful room to myself. Sophie made sure breakfast was always available and I was very happy to cook a meal for her a few times. Some spicy indian food 🙂 with some good wine. Sophie introduced me to her parents who are very well traveled and shared their stories from India and their travels. Her mother cooked a lovely meal for me and we had a meal at her parents place.I had the opportunity to meet her brother who is differently abled.I am grateful for this beautiful experience and for meeting people who have such a loving generous spirit, Thanks Sophie!
And Sophie confirms: "I just wanted to let you know that Savitha had a lovely stay at my place in St Ives. Very much in the spirit of Servas she was the perfect guest and we had a lot of cultural exchange. She was my first ever servas guest!"
Wishing you lots of love and hugs and you have a home in Trier and India
