Scott Stoll asked himself: “If I could do anything, what would I do?” His answer resulted in a quest for happiness around the world on a bicycle (4 years, 32,344 miles, 59 countries and 6 continents). His adventures are chronicled in his best-selling and award-winning book Falling Uphill, a tale described as having moments from pure survival to pure enlightenment. He was honored to be the Cultural Ambassador to Argentina by the US Department of State. He has received Hosteling International’s Spirit of Adventure Award and is most proud of his honorary diploma from a primary school. Not least of all, Scott is proud to have been blogging since before blogging was even a word.

The pirates of Zanzibar

In this story, Cat & Pat accept a half-joking offer: a pirate boat to Zanzibar. With no ferry running, little money and no stamps in their passports, they accept. They depart at 4 AM as "illegal cargo" on a dhow (a traditional sailing vessel with a design that dates back thousands of years) with no safety gear, no radio and no engine.

Quotes by Scott Stoll (?)

“The weirdest thing about Tibet is that the most popular beer is Pabst Blue Ribbon. Everywhere, even on the slopes of Everest, cans of Pabst lay alongside the road labeled, 'Established in Milwaukee in 1849'.”
― Scott Stoll, Falling Uphill: 25,742 Miles, 1461 Days, 50 Countries, 6 Continents & 4 Monents of Enlightenment on a Bicycle
