Why you ask?
On a recent holiday to Serbia, Belgrade had an adventure planned for me. The first day of the trip, my wallet chooses to get picked by a light-fingered aficionado of tourists' pockets. So like any other tourist, I blocked my cards and knew that my wallet was gone for good, destined to become an urban legend of Belgrade. But, human kindness and technology teamed up to plot a twist in my tale.
Turns out the now cashless wallet was tossed in a park, where two guardian angels found them and not knowing how to approach enlisted the help of my “knight in digital armour” Ana Pilicic ! Anna tracked me down on #LinkedIn and got the wallet submitted at the #UAEembassy. Thanks to Anna's quick thinking and the collective goodwill of these newfound friends, my wallet and I were reunited.
This experience has got me thinking that unexpected kindness can come from anywhere even strangers and human kindness transcends culture, nationality, geography and religion.
Sometimes, it's not the destination but the detours that make the journey unforgettable. Wallets may be lost, but sometimes what you find in return is priceless. And hey, always keep your LinkedIn updated; you never know when it'll save your day!
Here’s a shoutout to the kind souls who turned a traveler’s nightmare into a story of serendipity and goodwill. Thanks Anna and the two guardian angels!
