“On rare occasions a trace of a scent or atmospheric quality that has no business being in my location will call to some remote part of my perception and for a fleeting few seconds, I’ll be drawn into a strange yet familiar nimbus that is practically rhapsodic”.

 

Have you ever imagined buying a one-way ticket to a foreign land and seeing where destiny takes you? Have you dreamed of traveling with no reservations or itinerary? Have you wondered what well-traveled destinations were like before the onslaught of the internet and mass tourism? Have you fantasized about finding romance on the road?

 

Join me as I relate my phenomenal backpacking adventures in South East Asia and beyond in the late nineteen eighties, a time when roads were rough, communication was slow and unpredictable, and there was still a sense of wonder and the exotic. Traipse around with me for over a year and a half to a multitude of countries, as I drifted with the winds of fate, while searching for love and discovery, finding friends, lovers, life lessons and an addiction to travel along the way. My path was determined by two powerful love interests that, along with pure serendipity, informed my direction.
