Live the same

A trip to an unknown place 10,000 kilometers away without knowing the language or having any travel experience is fun, but also a bit scary 😊. The first issue was that I flew right before the New Year holidays: the tickets were very expensive, and there were no direct flights at all. I had to make several connections in overcrowded airports, where it was difficult to navigate for the first time, and I was constantly afraid of missing my flight. Being without money would have been a big problem. But everything worked out: a total of 18 hours of travel, with 11 of those in the air, and I found myself in the Dominican Republic. The airport in Punta Cana looks like a big bungalow, and you step right onto the tarmac from the plane. My first thought after leaving the plane was, "I'm going to die here!" 😂 The air was so humid and hot that it was hard to breathe at first. However, this feeling quickly passed, and within half an hour, I had already forgotten about it 😅.

There were a lot of people at the airport, but to my surprise, I quickly found the person who was supposed to meet me, even though I didn’t know what he looked like and I had no internet connection (the free Wi-Fi in the country was really bad back then). Funnily enough, this guy turned out to be from the same city as me 😄. We got into the car, where the director of the photo studio I was going to work at was waiting for us, and he drove me to the place where I was supposed to stay. On the way, he said: "It's a great spot: only 150 meters to the ocean, and 1 km to work. I used to live in this apartment myself, but I wouldn’t walk around there at night. Yeah, when I lived there, I got robbed twice. One time, someone climbed in through the window while I was sleeping. I tried to catch the thief, but he was covered in oil and kept slipping away 😅. But overall, it's a great place!" Haha, that really "inspired" me, didn’t it? 😅

How great to live so close to the sea!!

WTF. Hey, it's funny when you tell it, but I guess it was a bitter moment with the thief!

LOL. I love this story!

I have heard many more stories about thieves who smear themselves with oil from different people. I have not encountered this myself, but my friends have had their apartments robbed, even in the same building where I lived.
