The Kindness of Strangers

Travel has a way of testing us, and this collection gathers true stories from adventurous travellers who found themselves relying on the kindness of people they had never met. The journeys span difficult and unfamiliar terrain, from the Calais Jungle to the Amazon, from Land's End to the Gobi Desert, from New Guinea to Iran. Together, the stories explore what it means to be vulnerable far from home, and how often that vulnerability is met with generosity rather than danger.
