Saudi Blogger Praises Pakistanis’ Hospitality After Receiving Flood of Travel Offers
RIYADH: A Saudi social media blogger has praised the generosity and hospitality of Pakistanis after a light-hearted video about wanting to visit Pakistan unexpectedly prompted hundreds of offers of financial assistance and invitations from people across the country.
According to the blogger, he posted a video on Facebook joking that he wished to travel to Pakistan but could not afford the airfare. In the video, he humorously suggested that anyone interested in sponsoring his trip could ask for his bank account details.
The Saudi national said he expected viewers to laugh off the joke, but was surprised by the overwhelming response he received from Pakistanis.
In a follow-up video, he explained that shortly after uploading the clip, his inbox was flooded with messages from Pakistani men and women asking for his bank account number so they could send money for his airline ticket and travel expenses.
