Travel Stories
The other day, someone said, “Remember that time when your bike crashed into a Buddhist temple and you disturbed the monks’ morning chant? Or that time when a Cambodian woman saved you from that terrible rainstorm? Yeah, well you should write these stories down.”
Sharing stories, especially travel ones, is my favorite pastime. I love being able to pass on a heartfelt exchange or a quirky moment.
Introducing…Travel Stories of 2014 and beyond. I plan to share a brief story, anecdote, quip. Some are from my book THE SAME SKY while others are from past adventures. Enjoy!
