Win an autographed copy of Don George's "The Kindness of Strangers"!
"In 25 years of wandering the world, I have learned two fundamental truths: The first is that when you travel, at some point you will find yourself in a dire predicament -- out of money, out of food, unable to find a hotel room, lost in a big city or on a far-flung trail, stranded in the middle of nowhere. The second is that, equally inevitably, someone will miraculously emerge to take care of you – to lend you money, feed you, put you up for the night, lead you to where you want to go. Whether the situation is dramatic or mundane, some stranger will appear to save you, spontaneously and with no thought of compensation or reward."
-- Don George, from the Introduction to "The Kindness of Strangers"
"The Kindness of Strangers" is a collection of original stories that illuminate and explore the people-to-people connections that transform our travels. Contributors include Dave Eggers, Jan Morris, Simon Winchester, Alice Waters, Tim Cahill, Anthony Sattin, Rolf Potts, Jeff Greenwald, and many others. His Holiness the Dalai Lama wrote the Preface.
