We have had 2 long term stay guests who have become friends. The first a mother & daughter from Mexico. The daughter is a doctor doing part of her residency at our renowned University Hospital. We are in regular e-mail communication.
The other was also a doctor from Saudi Arabi doing part of his residency. The Friday before Mother's Day I was pleasantly surprised with a FaceTime call from him and he had his 105 year old grandmother beside him who kept asking him "how is your Canadian Mother doing?" So he called to find out!
We've learned so much from our guests and now have invitations to visit them in Mexico, Saudi Arabi, Bangladesh and Shanghai. A couple of our guests even volunteered to post their reviews in both English and their first language 🙂 !
Cheers, Helena
