Books and Backpacks: 6,600 Miles from Rome to Kathmandu

Dave Roche

I’ve never had any luck……but I never let it slow me down. In the winter of 1975, Dave Roche took an unforgettable journey. A student of Loyola University in Rome, Italy, Dave was encouraged to travel over Christmas break.He took the suggestion far too seriously, while at the same time maintaining a carefree attitude borne of youth and naivete, and proceeded to backpack more than a quarter of the way around the earth from Rome to Kathmandu, Nepal.This light-hearted travel memoir details backbreaking visits to Turkish bathhouses, a severe case of New Delhi belly, bus breakdowns and broken backpacks, and more mishaps and marvelous experiences uncommon to most Americans at that time.Join Dave as he recounts his unforgettable stories of traveling through one of the world’s most intriguing regions. Get it today.
