Unluckiest travelers include woman whose purse was stolen by a baboon.

Sunday, 27 Dec, 2010 0

Is the world’s unluckiest travelers the doctor who shattered his leg in a cliff fall on a third day of a medical mission to Vietnam, spending his time there as a patient?
 

Or is it the couple on a “Floating University” that hit a sandbar in Alexandria that was close to sinking by the time they reached the dock?
 

Or is it the woman whose purse was stolen by a baboon in Kenya?
 

All are contenders from among more than 800 submissions in Travel Guard North America’s search for the “World’s Unluckiest Traveler.”
 

The “winner,” who will receive a cash award, will be announced soon.
