Through the Hi.Home app, I had the unforgettable privilege of being welcomed into the home of a warm and gracious Saudi family. Experiencing the Hejaz-inspired decor, exploring the rich layers of Saudi culture, and savoring the exceptional local cuisine was truly inspiring. The journey became even more meaningful as I discovered shared elements of culture, food, and language between our countries—an incredible reminder of our common bonds. I am honored to say I now have a sister in Jeddah. My deepest gratitude goes to my Saudi hosts for making me feel as if I were with lifelong friends.Thank you for an experience that will remain with me always.Greetings from Türkiye
