The kindness of strangers: travel stories that make your heart grow

Exploring new places and getting to know new people and cultures expands our horizons, in more ways than one.

All around the world there are not only adventures to be had, but stories to be shared - ones that open our eyes to different ways of thinking, loving and being.

It's through the small acts of compassion that we experience on the road that our faith in humanity is restored.

Featuring inspirational stories from the likes of Ed Stafford, Benedict Allen, Sarah Outen, Al Humphreys, Leon McCarron, Lois Pryce, Jamie McDonald and Anna McNuff, adventuring from the Calais Jungle to the Amazon, from Land's End to the Gobi Desert, from New Guinea to Iran and many other places in-between, and with all royalties going to the Oxfam Syrian Refugee Appeal, this anthology of traveller's tales is bound to move you, and maybe encourage you to head off on your own adventure.
