Creating Connection: a Customs Chat about Hospitality - Episode 42
Every so often Melissa and Tracy have a chat about a random topic, discuss what global stories come to their minds, and then ask for stories from their listeners. In this episode we are chatting about HOSPITALITY!
Oh, the comfort of feeling at home when we are not at home! Moving to a different country can be exhausting, and having someone bring us a meal or, better yet, invite us into their home for a meal and friendship, is a warm blanket of care. Whatever the version of hospitality and whatever it looks like in a host country, there is no denying the human warmth received and gratefulness produced. Today's stories show that hospitality is sharing food, places, and culture. It builds bonds and creates new memories. When we experience hospitality, it makes us feel connected, humbled, joyful, and more human. We may never be able to repay it, but we can always pass it on.
