Stranger danger? Sure, you will hear stories of things gone wrong on occasional travels but I prefer the adage that most strangers are friends we just haven’t met yet. In this episode of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast I bring together more stories that prove this!

Meeting Kind Strangers
When we travel, we are sometimes wary of strangers – but should we be? The stories in Episode 242 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast suggest we shouldn’t be.
First up, I chat with Vince Dickson about one of his early travel experiences in Europe. He ended up almost penniless in Paris and that’s when he came across a helpful stranger.
I then talk to Pam Mandel who also had a wonderful experience with a stranger in Nepal when she was needing a way to cook her dinner!
Finally, I hear from Tim Tricker about what I can call a reverse kindness of stranger situation in Barcelona – a fabulous story!
