Chance Encounters: Travel Tales from Around the World
Edited by Janna Graber

Denver, Colo (December 3, 2014) — Travel never goes quite like we expect. Planes are late, maps are misread and unexpected detours are made. When this happens, the twisting roads of travel can lead to adventures we never imagined — and lessons we never expected to learn. Sometimes, if we’re lucky, we cross paths with people who show us life from a different angle or provide kindness when it’s needed most. Those we meet while traveling can change our journey, our experiences or even our lives. Come along with some of the world’s top travel writers as they share their stories from around the globe.

Sometimes on the road of travel, we cross paths with unforgettable and extraordinary people. Here are 23 true stories of travel encounters that will long be remembered.
