Cornish Delight and Other Stories

This book is the fourth in a collection of travel essays that I have published over the course of a ten-years period. Its stories are about the author's travel experiences in places across the U.S., Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia. Some of the stories evolved from sections of old travel journals I wrote while in my twenties, while some date back a decade, and others more recent than that. I was extremely fortunate to have the ability to live in different places abroad as an exchange student, relief worker, and backpacker in an age when travel was relatively cheap, the world was a safer place, and health hazards amounted to nothing more serious than malaria and the occasional bout of dysentery. My wish is that in describing these experiences, readers will regain confidence in the kindness of the human spirit?for without the kindness of strangers I met on my journeys, I may never have successfully completed them?and become inspired to venture outre-mer, as did Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, one of our first great travel writers, in his book by the same name about his travels in Europe in the 19th century.
