“We’re looking for terrifying tales, but we also want to know how things might have gone differently, how that person reacted and what advice they would give to other travelers about how to avoid or survive a similar situation” said Christopher Noble, World Nomads’ general manager. “Our aim is to find the one story that inspires with travel triumph over adversity and give that person a chance to experience a new and amazing travel experience… on us.”
Noble said experiences might include, among others, being scammed out of cash, falling from a tuk-tuk or eating an adventurous path right to the hospital.
“We want to give the best storyteller the chance to overcome their terrifying travel tale by making a fresh start - on a new adventure,” he said.
