Have you done something just for the good feeling it gave you - like giving up your seat on the bus for someone, opened a door for someone, helped someone you didnt even know? Or has a stranger done something for you that made you feel good all over? Tell us about it here.

I once ended up arriving in a town in the middle of Malaysia around 10 o'clock at night and for some reason the local hotels were all full so after an hour of traipsing around with my backpack I was contemplating a night in a doorway; female, early 20s, alone and to be honest scared. A complete stranger stopped to ask if I was ok and not only went off on his moped to find me a hotel room but also offered to pay for it for me. He was hoping to travel himself one day so was hoping that the good karma would come back to him when he was travelling. I was not only enormously grateful for his help, I also felt ashamed of initially suspecting his motives..... He was just a genuinely kind and generous man.
