Gina and Scott Gaille have traveled to more than 100 countries, including many off-the-beaten-path places in Africa, South America, and Asia. Wherever they go, they ask this question. Everyone has a story, and some are truly extraordinary.

Daring Diplomat, who ate the flesh of the venomous cobra bird in the Sahara Desert

Pearl Trader, who survived a fever through a harrowing "human" honey treatment in Oman

Death-Defying Instagrammer, who stepped on the tail of the world’s sixth most venomous snake in Australia to take a better photo

Human Pet, who became a prince’s prisoner in Qatar

Imperial CEO, who made a minion fly twelve hours to Paris from Abu Dhabi to buy clean underwear

Gorilla Doll, who broke the rules of visiting Rwandan gorillas and got dragged up the side of a volcano
