Description

Even if you’re not an avid traveler, be prepared to laugh your way through the author’s inept and often bizarre travel experiences; since he was a teenager he just couldn’t resist the lure of foreign lands.
Whether just 19 years old and killing bugs in Casablanca for a living, or a more “mature” 30-something adrift on the Arabian Sea, the author stumbles from one country—and one adventure—to the next.
Between his more normal jobs in marketing and advertising in the States he heads overseas to drive his gigantic ’64 Chevy Impala around England, motorcycle through Europe, ride busses and trucks through the middle east and hitchhike through north Africa.
No cruise ship buffets or guided tours for this author. Having visited over 30 countries (and counting), Mr. Strobel vows to continue his love for solo traveling where he can get on “personal terms” with the locals, whether they be Karalian fisherman (India) or wild apes (Gibraltar.)
On one hand, he’s your average guy who worries whether he might have smelly feet when in Afghanistan on the other, he’s fearless as when he takes a job as a “fish spy” on the Arabic sea—just for the fun of it. Then he goes back home and gets another “real” job. For a while...
You won’t find restaurant or hotel reviews in this book; what you will find are unusual, crazy (often preposterous), and funny adventures.

Mr. Strobel is the author of 8 books (translated into 6 languages) available in book or gift stores and Amazon as hardbound or paperback. This is his first eBook. He finally settled down and got married but his wife lets him go to Paris every year to visit his “office” which is really a bar where he once spent 10 hours straight and has been a regular ever since.
