An American influencer has recently opened up about her emotional journey in Pakistan as a solo female traveller.
The vlogger who goes by the name, Talia (travelingwithtals), shared in a video on TikTok, “I’ve never received this amount of love and care the way that I have in Pakistan.”
@travelingwithtals Excuse my tears but just needed to vent really quickly. What a crazy 3 weeks it has been in Pakistan #solofemaletraveler #pakistantravel #independentwoman #safetyfirst #pakistanzindabad ♬ original sound – Tals
She broke down in tears as she continued to add, “People invite me to their barbecues. Everyone’s just always welcomed.”
“It’s like the most beautiful form of connection. This is how people should be”, she added.
Talia went on to compare her life in the United States (US) to the time she spent in Pakistan. She mentioned how she didn’t know her neighbour’s names back in the US while people in Pakistan invited her to their homes.
She said, “I feel so surprised by the love and care I’ve received by strangers who don’t know me.”
“They don’t know that I’m an influencer. They don’t care that I’m a woman”
The American vlogger went on to say, “This country has felt like home to me. I’ve experienced such genuine kindness.”
Talia spent 3 weeks travelling to different parts of the country, including the northern areas where she went hiking and camped out in the mountains.
