The world in a book. 13 years ago, I took a fantastic world trip that planted a seed of adventure. Since then, I have made many international trips. The country count has gone from only the USA to over 190 countries and seven continents. The love of travel has gone from my love of the highway as an over-the-road truck driver to a love of international experience. The book was written to show what’s out there based on my own experiences, to offer ideas on how you can do the same thing, or simply to change the way you see the world. The world is big, but surprisingly accessible. I don’t want to tell people where to go. I only want to plant a seed, to get people interested in going beyond the borders, to see a bigger world. Travel isn’t meant for the wealthy alone, but for anyone with a heart for adventure and understanding. It retraces my time before travel, notes experiences in every country I visited in the past 13 years, and offers ideas on how to travel as I did. I hope I can at least get people to see a better, less restricted world. Come on, the world is waiting.
