Book Description
A book of short stories that take the reader from chicken ownership, gardening and beach combing on a tiny island in the Pacific Northwest to Africa, Central America and Asia. Laugh your way through sleeping in a Costa Rican brothel, the perils of gypsy caravans in Ireland, peeing in Japan, gagging over caviar in the Sudan, sleeping atop a VW van below Kilimanjaro, an Italian soap opera and a sari falling off in a crowded train station in India. Cry your way through the garbage dumps of Guatemala, a tragic rape in Costa Rica, the townships of apartheid, and an amazing reunion with a child given up for adoption. Learn about camel riding in the desert, sailing the islands of Kuna Yala, months of camping on a Central American beach, exploring Eastern Turkey and couch surfing round the globe. This book explores places off the beaten track and is a manual for a unique mode of budget and heartfelt travel.
