Another Way to Travel: Intuitive Journeys Near and Far #2
Another Way to Travel: Intuitive Journeys Near and Far: Part II
Ever tried explaining the difference between Red Hat Linux and Annie Lennox to a Mexican?
Ever been accused of working for a notorious terror network by virtue of taking a photograph of a decrepit border post?
Ever run up a Greek mountain in trainers and found yourself being offered lunch in a monastery?
Ever been waylaid by a friendly New Zealander who insists on sharing - to the last drop - a bottle of Konyagi, aka Spirit of the Nation, 35% Alc.? (A Tanzanian liquor that neither he nor you have ever imbibed)
If you can answer all these questions in the affirmative, then this book is probably not for you. But for everyone else who enjoys immersive travel, then you're sure to enjoy these chapters.
The author takes the road less travelled as he meanders across borders and rubs shoulders with whoever it is sitting next to him on the bus or the hostel patio, sometimes alone, sometimes not.
This book follows on from his previous adventures in Book I. If you enjoy anecdotal travel, mixed in with a dose of history, contemporary issues and the trials and tribulations of ordinary people - with a few smiles and laughs along the way - then this will definitely appeal to you. What are you waiting for!

About the author
Leo Anthony
4 books6 followersRaised in Zimbabwe, Africa, I have an affinity for the continent and its complexities.
I travelled quite extensively in the last decade which has informed my travel writing. You'll find a particular focus on Turkey, Southern Europe and Africa.
Perhaps as a consequence of being a person of many parts I've struggled to settle down in my adult life. Ironically, as a young man, I never imagined I would want to live anywhere else...
As the great journalistic travel writer Ryszard Kapuscinski points out in his book, Travels with Herodotus,
"A journey does not begin the moment we set off, nor does it end the moment we have reached our doorstep once again. It starts much earlier and is really never over, because the film of memory continues running inside of us long after we have come to a physical standstill. Indeed, there exists something like a contagion of travel, and the disease is essentially incurable."
