Leon Logothetis is a global adventurer, motivational speaker & philanthropist. It wasn’t always that way. He used to be a broker in the city of London where he felt uninspired and chronically depressed. He gave it all up for a life on the road. His newest book, The Kindness Diaires, is the incredible journey of one man who sets out to circumnavigate the globe on a vintage motorbike fueled by kindness. Incredibly, he makes his way across the U.S., through Europe, India, Cambodia, and Vietnam, and finally to Canada and back to the Hollywood sign, by asking strangers for shelter, food, and gas.  At each stop, he finds a way to give back to these unsuspecting Good Samaritans in life-changing ways, by rebuilding their homes, paying for their schooling, and leaving behind gifts big and small. 

Sponsored by the Cedar Valley Friends of the Family.   Leon will speak about his travels, and will have his books for sale and signing.  Proceeds of all sales on Tuesday will go towards Cedar Valley Friends of the Family.
