I was wandering around an unfamiliar place with no fixed itinerary in mind. As I was walking, I got fascinated with unused yet colorful train, actually its color reminded me of Christmas, with blue-red-green combination. I was figuring out how to get there and wanted to take a pix of it. Suddenly, a stranger wearing a formal suit with a suitcase approached me. He asked me where I was going, so I told him my intention. He suggested me to go with him so I could enter for free and saved few bucks for my fare. It may sound like a scam but I didn鈥檛 know why I immediately followed him.
As we were walking along a calm & quiet station, he recommended me some tourist spots nearby, he also observed that I'm a Filipino and thought I were still a student, so he was worried about me roaming alone. 馃槣馃槀 I told him that it wasn鈥檛 my first time backpacking alone and my real age. (btw, i was almost 30 y/o when I met him, just 2 days before my birthday)
When we reached the exit of the station, I was surprised how the employees treated him, he even instructed the guard to let me pass once I get back to the station by myself. Eventually, he showed me his ID and told me his job position. I appreciated his hospitality toward me. I was so grateful that God led me to the right person on my first day in KL.
Reminiscing from what I did, It sounded like a reckless move for a lone woman to go with a guy for the first time. But, one thing that I really love about solo traveling is that it always reminds me how great our God is and how weak am I without Him. It makes me more reliant throughout the journey with bountiful joy & awe of Him.
To God be the glory!
