This week we welcome Henrique to host the happy hour and share stories of his travels.
A note from Annette on how their paths crossed:
Henrique and I met while both traveling in Cusco, Peru. It was the first night we [she and her best friends] arrived to Pariwana, the hostel we called home while in Cusco.
For anyone who has traveled to high altitude you know the first day you have to take it easy while your body adjusts. We decided to enjoy a light meal in the hostel’s restaurant to settle our stomachs. Little did we know it was karaoke night…
If you know me (and my friends) we can’t say no to Karaoke. Soon enough we joined in the singing, which quickly turned to dancing. The best part was all the portuguese songs we had never heard before, because there were so many people from Brazil. We quickly became friends, and Henrique was among the group we befriended.
When karaoke was over, we weren’t ready to call it a night so the hosts from the hostel brought us to an international dance club, where we dance until 5am. These late night dance marathons were not a rare occasion on this trip…
The best memory I have of Henrique was the night he was leaving and made a point to still join us for some dancing, and making sure to give us each a good bye hug. It might seem like a small gesture, but to have someone we just met be so intentional about his goodbyes and staying in touch was impactful.
Not only will I never forget how we met, but our short time together taught me how friendships can be built in such a short time if your heart is open to it.
If you haven’t yet, take a sneak peak at some of the places Henrique has traveled so far by scrolling through the photos at the top. Any guess as to how many countries he has been to? Can you guess where each of the photos above was taken?
As always, be ready for some great stories, and incredible photos too. Come ready with some questions and your curiosity as we travel together through Henrique’s stories.
