Pełny opis

There is no friend, family, or even acquaintance I know who would do Couchsurfing... except me and my daughter.

When Judith Fitzsimmons agreed to let a stranger prepay $125,000 in rent to help fund her daughter's tuition at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, she had no idea it would change the entire direction of her life.

That single act of trust led to a whirlwind journey through the south of France - trains, wine, an all-male dormitory, a leprechaun with a tiny dog, and a Christmas fireworks display over candlelit windows. But it didn't end when she came home.

Sixteen years later, Judith has hosted dozens of strangers in her own home: a couple whose crocheted octopus nearly got left behind at a Missouri rest stop, three young men who cleaned her gutters as a thank-you gift, and a pair of travelers who once left with a key to her house while she was three states away.

The Open Door is a true story about what happens when you stop living in fear and start saying yes - told with warmth, humor, and the kind of honesty that makes strangers into family.

Perfect for readers of memoirs about travel, generosity, and the unexpected connections that shape a life.
