You are so charming couple! It’s natural that I’ll meet so many people who help you with pleasure. I can’t imagine it otherwise.

In reply to Sharon. Writing it, I felt the same way. I think you are right as we seem to continually meet complete strangers who open their hearts and homes. The world is full of kind, generous and amazing people - and travelling is a great way to meet them. Happy new year to you too!

What a lovely thing to write, it brought a lump to my throat and has restored my faith in human nature and the kindness of strangers. I do believe that good people gravitate towards each other and I know that the both of you have given as well as received and long may your mutually beneficial journey through life and over land continue. A big thank you to you Charlie for being such a wonderful caring and talented individual. Finally, Happy New Year and a very big thank you from the Spencer/Marchant family for giving us peace of mind and keeping Charlie and Luke safe.

In reply to Franca.

Thanks, Franca! I was worried that to other readers it might be a kind of boring post – not that worried though, because it’s a subject that’s very important to me and I would want to share anyway – but actually it seems that other travellers have had very similar experiences with generosity from strangers and can really relate. Hope you both had a smashing Christmas too! x

Fantastic post Charlie and I couldn’t agree more with you because I feel like me and Dale have been as lucky as you finding so many generous people on the road. It’s incredible how kind strangers can be :)

Have a lovely Christmas you two :)

What a lovely post! Many people put off travelling as they’re scared that they’ll be alone or it’ll be dangerous, they don’t realise that much of the time you’re meeting incredibly kind and generous people. So many of the people I’ve met on the road and as an expat have gone out of their way to make me feel at home.
