It never occurred to me that I might run into someone from my home town in the middle of New Delhi, but that’s exactly what happened.
While hanging out and chatting with folks at the Madpacker’s Hostel in New Delhi I heard that someone else staying there was from Nebraska.
We didn’t get a chance to meet until the next morning at breakfast, and I could barely believe it. Not only was Emily from Nebraska, but from Omaha. We also graduated high school the same year and have literally a hundred mutual friends on Facebook.
I guess the world is a bit smaller than I thought! Sometimes you have to go around the world to meet someone from your home town!
