Deadline: 31 October 2011
Write and tell us about your most memorable Travel Encounter. Was it meeting a Sadhu in Kathmandu or a Masai in Tanzania? An annoying policeman or over-officious customs official? Perhaps it was a beautiful woman or handsome hunk on a deserted tropical beach. A baby elephant, friendly puppy or aggressive seagull?
Let us know. Make us laugh, cry, sympathise or go green with envy.
