One needs to experience these happenings to get what Tanya is talking about. I have experienced it and love travelling overseas alone for the exact reasons stated in this book. The random people Ive met where we dont/cannot communicate since we dont share a common language; but instead communicate with our gestures and our hearts -- this has been soul changing for me.Bravo; Tanya -- love your soul!5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. thought provokingBy Lili CrowleyFood for thought.
