I spent a year living in Berlin. I was staying in a hostel in Kreuzberg and had made friends with a receptionist there.

One day she adds me on Facebook and a few days later she tells me how she was creeping my page. I happened to mention in a post one of the hostels I was living at in Sydney, Australia a couple years before going to Germany.

We get to talking and it turned out her and I were in the same hostel, at the same time in Sydney. We could have made eye contact in Australia and would have never even processed it.

I knew the timing was right because she arrived in Sydney during a really cold and rainy month. She was complaining because she left Berlin to see the sun and ended up with more rain. She left Sydney shortly after arriving.

Absolutely wild to me that we would meet up again on the other side of the planet. We ended up hitching to Warsaw and back after our discovery.
