German traveler hosted by Turkish family in Sivas after caravan breakdown

Tanja Aumer, a German traveler on a world tour, was hosted by a local family in the Sivas province of Turkey for 11 days after her caravan experienced a mechanical failure in the Divriği district.

After noticing Aumer stranded by the roadside, Güngör Durgun, the village head (muhtar) of Güneyevler, invited her to breakfast and subsequently welcomed her into his home. The Durgun family assisted with her personal needs and coordinated the repair of her vehicle.

The encounter gained significant attention on social media after Aumer shared videos of her emotional farewell with the family. The hosts expressed that they viewed the act as a simple gesture of kindness and were pleased to showcase the hospitality of the Sivas region.
