And with a better a better knowledge and respect of travel and itsádangers and risks, hopefully, youâÇÖll gain a better sense of safety, security,áenjoyment and appeciation of your travels.Close Calls and Great Escapesáincludes many examples of bad things that happen to travelers despite their best efforts to avoid such things. But bad things DO happen on occasion, and the best thing to do is, of course, to avoid them in the first place. But if we cannot, we should at least do our best toáescape them.áAgain, while thereâÇÖs no easy, simple miracle list of failsafe strategies for always staying safe and secure in each dangerous situation that may arise, there are, nevertheless, meaningful takeaway strategies from the many examples presented in theseábooks that willáenable you to develop and keep in mind ways to enhance personal safety and security and reduce the risks of potentially dangerous outcomes in travel.While many of the tales in these twoábook are not strictly about life and death situations surrounding travel, many are about difficult, embarrassing, and otherwise annoying nuisances that we all would do well to better avoid and do without.The scope and variety of close callsáin these twoábook may surprise you. And some would never likely even occur to you. Some are even humorous, like, for example, the many examples of exotic foods that youâÇÖd never eat on a dare back home, but are, instead, all in when it comes to trying, say, pressed rabbit in Peru or even steak tartare during your travels in the south of France! (I wonâÇÖt be the spoiler and reveal it to you here!)Yes, such an adventures may or may not ever happen to you, but after reading about it in theseábook, should at leastágive you pause &mdash, who knows? Maybe youâÇÖll never, ever eat such a bizarre, strange dish in the first or next instance.Sure, youâÇÖll read stories in thisábook series that will alert you to situations that may never even occur to you. But if you avoid even one new travel danger that you might never have even thought of by reading theseábooks, then IâÇÖll have accomplished a very useful purpose.
