After asking for directions, he offered to take her to the place on his motorbike and she accepted.
From there, their relationship got tighter. For the rest of the week, Honoré took Rachel to Benin's most important sites.
While touring Benin, Rachel and Honoré discussed. Although Rachel didn't open up about her personal life, she said she found herself trusting Honoré with her thoughts and feelings. Honoré opened up in turn.
"First conversations were about learning about myself, my family, my situation, who I am, who I really am. We were very open and very candid, because we were strangers and we'll never see each other again," recalls Rachel.
Rachel opened up to her friend about her situation
Rachel described the situation in an email to one of her close friends back in Ottawa.
"I think I think this person should be my husband. But am I crazy? I've known this guy for a week. Is that stupid? Tell me if I'm crazy," she wrote.
Her friend wrote back:
"Rachel, you are not a stupid person. You have good judgment. You are a good judge of character. If he's the one, grab him."
Rachel got more closer to him and even after travelling back to her country, she kept in touch until he secured his papers and moved to Canada to be with her.

In an interview with BBC News Pidgin, the woman said that people told her she is just way above a woman any man would be interested in. She added that people told her that even if a man comes calling, the person will be shorter in height or she will be 10 years older than the man.
According to her, God did it for her and put many people to shame. She revealed that her heartthrob is not only taller than she is, he is also way older.
