Travel Stories: How Unexpected Encounters Change Lives

We often plan our holidays around all the sights we want to see and things we want to do. We book flights, reserve hotels, and map out detailed itineraries, all hoping for that perfect trip.

The ink is dry on the paperwork, the dealership key fob feels nice in the palm of the hand, and that intoxicating new-car smell is filling up the lungs.
