<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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. - Meet three Americans who help a Belgian woman find her voice - Bust a move with harmonica-playing pygmies in Uganda - See how a former enemy can become your friend - Watch a Kenyan girl face a heartbreaking custom with bravery - Learn from a wise young monk as he hikes in Bhutan - Marvel at the kindness of strangers on a pilgrimage in Japan - Take an unforgettable elevator ride with a courageous woman in Paris. - Gain new understanding during an unspoken conversation in Cambodia - Experience Nepal through the eyes of a child - Take a wild ride in Turkey depending only on the kindness of strangers And many more...

Each experience touched and changed the author in some small or large way, all of them significant. The primary drawback of the book is that the tales come to an end. Chance Encounters is a good read for every real, as well as armchair, traveler."-- Portland Book Review "The chance encounters in this anthology leave lasting impressions on the traveler, and on the reader. After enjoying details of others experiences, your future travels will likely include new ways to see, hear and connect with fellow travelers and locals wherever you roam." -- Gallagher Ink "Chance Encounters is a compilation of wonderful stories by travel writers for people who love to travel, or wish they could! Each personal essay featured is a glimpse into another life, another time, another place, and reminds us that we are connected in ways we often don't initially recognize." - Author Debbie A. McClure, TheWriteStuffDotCom.<br>
