That's a very nice/creepy (Jesus, the stalker dude) experience! I envy you for being able to travel and meet them irl. I wish I could have that freedom.

I would love to visit my friends. They became really close to me, supporting me and helping me whenever they could. I also have met someone very important, though she's living in Florida, US. I'm from Argentina. Someday it will happen! thenwellgetmarriedandstuff
