Two Sweet Strangers Saved Me From Being Stranded In A Foreign Airport Past Midnight
By A Friend • January 27, 2025
Long story short, I (solo female traveler) was stuck in an airport for over an hour struggling to get a taxi to accept my ride request to the city center.
I was trying my best not to panic when I overheard two women who had been sitting near me say that they finally got a taxi. I asked them what app they were using, and when they saw I couldnt get the app to work on my phone, they invited me to join their cab. I could have cried of relief and gratitude.
But that's not where their kindness ends. I wanted to pay for their ride but they wouldn't let me. I even tried just giving them the money but they gave it back to me, saying its only fair to split the cost three ways so I ended up paying a ridiculously low amount to get to a central location that was just like a 15-min ride away from where I needed to go.
And it doesn't end there. We got off at their stop, which was a neighborhood marketplace looking area that had lights on, food stalls, even a small convenience store, and plenty of people about, ie it seemed quite safe. I told them they could go since it's pretty late and they must be tired, but they stayed and stood around with me for like 10 minutes until I got in my taxi and left.
Angels. Angels the both of them. There's no other explanation. I still keep in touch with them on social media and can't wait for the day I can repay them for their kindness. One of them apparently visits my country time to time for work, so I'm just waiting for their next trip so that I can show them around all the cool places and treat them to a good hearty local meal.
