(Dunya News) – A Finnish couple travelling the world has recently landed in Sindh, while hitching rides along the way.

The couple that arrived in Sukkur on Tuesday are being termed ‘ambassadors of peace’ for their journey that aims to promote tourism in countries that are generally perceived as being ‘unsafe’.

The Finnish couple that has reached Pakistan while travelling across thirteen countries had some good things to share about the people of Pakistan. “We think in Pakistan we’ve met people who are more hospitable than the ones we have ever met in our lives. It’s amazing,” says the couple.

The couple has reached Sukkur via Balochistan and now aims to continue its journey while hitching rides from the locals.

Visiting Sukkur’s historic and tourist sites, the couple also met the notables of the city.

Talking to Dunya News, the couple said that they added Pakistan to their route in order to portray the true and positive image of Pakistan while breaking the stereotypical misconceptions that prevail around the globe.

The couple after spending a day in Sukkur will now head for Multan.
