After spending a day by ourselves, we finally had the chance to meet some of the other members of the tour group. We are split between two hotels before we embark on the river cruise.
This tour group will be together for the next eight or nine days, with participants ranging from teenagers to those in their late 70s and early 80s. Some are quite active, while others have health issues that restrict their mobility.
My mindset for this trip is to be open to meeting as many people as possible and intentionally push my introverted nature to the curb. Who knows what interesting people I’ll meet and what great stories I’ll hear along the way?
“Hi, my name is Michael and your name?” It feels a bit uncomfortable internally, but it’s a start. After all, nothing grows in the comfort zone – except maybe fungus.
