Extraordinary Tale of Travel

With one hundred dollars in his pocket, his thumb out, and a backpack on his back, the author embarks upon a hitchhiking journey across America, taking him deep within the distinctive American landscape of the early 1970s and an aimless adventure unfolds into an unforeseen spiritual awakening.

Returning home, but now driven by the fiery blaze of an unquenchable wanderlust, the author begins a tireless journey across the planet, on a bare bones budget, backpacking throughout Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, and deep into the heart of the Islamic world, following the legendary overland trail to India.

An extraordinary tale of travel is a multi-layered, raw and detailed account of one solitary traveler and a six year odyssey taking him to the outermost edges of the road, written from a perspective seldom found in traveler's tales.
