Close Encounters of the Traveling Kind (Unabridged‪)‬

This collection of near-death (and a few almost-near-death) stories take you on adventures in Africa, South America, Nepal, Japan, and Thailand. Close encounters with an angry snake, the edge of an abyss, an unfriendly African tribe, a fake guide or two, a mean Dutch man, a nasty case of typhoid, and a severe case of mountain stupidity are told with the confidence of a traveler who has discovered that no matter what happens, everything works out in the end.
