Summary

Welcome to my life for the last three years: planes, trains, hotels, longboats, jungle lodges, helicopters...and the many, many wonderful places in between. It's a book of photographs, and every picture tells a story-not just my story, but the stories of the small crew who were there with me and of the people we encountered along the way. You'll find some helpful nuggets of hard-earned wisdom here, useful tactics for travel and eating around the world. I'll point out some bizarre curiosities of the road and tell you a bit about the best and worst places to visit and to eat. But principally, I'll show you what we saw as we moved back and forth and across this earth: twenty-eight countries, five continents, a continuing journey of nearly 200,000 miles... Book jacket.
