Vacation Boy: Does This Count as a Career?: Eclectic Tales of Adventure from Around the Globe

This collection of fun true stories takes the reader to 34 countries around the world, following the winding “career path” of the sometimes hapless, often joyful and always evolving Vacation Boy. The book is about taking life by the horns and riding that unpredictable bronco around the world, leaving no regrets on the table, even if the ride results in a few bruises along the way. It is less a compilation of travel stories than the sum of the parts of a life lived differently. The book is packed with 200 pictures, which open windows into amazing corners of the globe. Whether struggling with a cantankerous bike while riding along the remote Chinese border with Burma, kayaking through Venice, dodging malevolent minnows & leeches in a Malaysian jungle or competing in the world's largest BBQ competition, the humorous adventures draw readers out of their armchairs and into places they never knew were there to visit. Think Into the Wild, but without the unhappy ending. You'll laugh, gasp, and want to know what happens next!
