Travel Stories: Kindness of strangers (E8)
Manage episode 274058568 series 2803412
Jon kicks off the show with a raspy voice -- was it due to a bout with COVID-19? -- before we jump into today's Travel Stories. During our 20 months of travel, we have encountered numerous situations where strangers go out of their way to lend us a helping hand. In this episode, we share specific experiences about the security guards in Akumal, Mexico; the shuttle ride in the Mayan Riviera that turned into a tour; the kind and wonderful Airbnb hosts in Mérida, Mexico; the helping hands on the Mexico City bus platform; the cab ride from a stranger in Cuenca, Ecuador, who wasn't a cab driver; and the Mendoza, Argentina, gentlemen who helped us get our car from a locked parking lot and then gave us tips on the best places to visit nearby. Time and again we have enjoyed strangers helping us navigate unfamiliar territory, and we remain forever grateful.
