4.0 out of 5 stars from a global voyager:, 14 Feb 2009
By Paul S. Attrell "Global Voyager" (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very much enjoyed reading tales of kindnesses received and dangers avoided by these writers... reminded me of some of my own adventures! Luckily these people were prepared to own up and admit some of their own mistakes and be humbled by their experiences.
