I have visited 80+ countries and lived in 11. I believe I have something useful to say about the world we live in and what I've experienced. I've climbed live volcanos, swam in all the oceans, eaten things I really should not have eaten, learnt 5 languages, had an M-16 pointed at my chest in anger, raised a family and met the kindest, most generous and sometimes the scariest people on this beautiful planet of ours. I have hung out with company directors and ghetto denizens. I've slept in jungles and fields and 5 star hotels. I have conducted research along the way and this book is my perspective on what I have encountered on a 30+ year personal journey.
