Resting With Old Man: An African Story

by Andrew Wilson

"Eight years after graduating from university I found myself on top of a truck in Ethiopia being shot at by a farmer…" Being shot at. Getting lost. Suffering with illness. Eating poisonous snakes. Drinking with the locals... Andrew Wilson’s eight year journey around the world was filled with adventure and excitement. He wanted to be free and in command of his own life, and he challenged himself to find the places far off the beaten path. Resting With Old Man takes you on a retro-journey through Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Eritrea in a time there were no cell phones, no email, no internet, few tourists and little up-to-date information. Trading in a stable and predictable life for one of chance and uncertainty he found a happiness and contentment he thought could last forever. But he also learned that certain tradeoffs come with a price.
