This book is a collection of travel writing covering five decades and five continents.

The pieces are not mere descriptions of lands and peoples but are evocative of the thoughts, emotions, and deductions that go with those strange and wonderful experiences that occur during travel.

The writing shows more than the scenes that are susceptible to the camera’s lens: it delves into the history, language, humor, connections, the meanings, and imaginations of each experience.

The 55 pieces constitute a book into which you can delve. They relate real life experiences and interpretations from Tibet to North Africa from Khazakstan to Ireland and from Norway to Australia.

The book is designed to persuade the reader to think and to travel.
