Modern travel adventure doesn’t always take place in a far off jungle swamp.
Keith Jones journeys from the polluted streets of Manila, to an elegant Bishkek ballroom. He sleeps upon a lonely beach in Baja and is enlightened at a forest temple in Thailand. Along the way ghostly encounters bring new meaning to the phrase travel adventure.
•A remote forest temple in Thailand. A scream in the night. A ghost roams the temple grounds.
•In a bustling Manila neighborhood, next to a busy funeral home, ghosts lurk in the hallway of Keith’s apartment building, while outside he is set upon by a ragtag gang of munchkins
•A typhoon drenched weekend in the coffee growing region of the Philippine Islands where the Ghost of the Coffee Farmer’s Daughter crosses Keith’s path.
•In Kyrgyzstan a colleague complains that the “bride’s price” of 40 sheep and $1,000 dollars paid by her father-in-law, was insulting low. While that snowy night the ghost of the Alta Sara Ballroom keeps Keith awake.
•In China a mid-morning mountain hike and the quest for a fabled dinner plate sized peach sends a ghostly shiver down Keith’s spine.
•On a remote Baja shore, in the dark of the night Keith helps a stranded baby whale, while a ghostly apparition waits offshore.
These are stories chronicle journeys of the heart, of the body and the mind. Real life as seen through the eyes of a modern day adventure seeker, who finds adventure in every day places and remote out of the way spaces.
