 These stories made me fall in love with the world again.  Isabel Allende Don George is a legendary travel writer and editor.  National Geographic What shines with crystal clarity through all of these wise and wonderful essays is Don George's irrepressible generosity of spirit. He loves the world he finds, and the world loves him back in equal measure. Those of us lucky enough to know him have long recognized Don as a seriously life-enhancing kind of fellow: this marvelous collection serves amply to reinforce the notion. And no: no favors were sought or offered for this message. Not a one.  Simon Winchester Don George is an inveterate adventurer and master storyteller, with the biggest, most generous heart on the open road.  Andrew McCarthy Don George describes himself as a  travel evangelist' but he is much more than that. Yes, he loves to talk about the life-changing possibilities of travel, which started for him when he visited Paris in college. But he is also a best-selling author and writer, regarded by many as the preeminent travel writer of his generation.  Christopher Elliott
