Book four in the unconventional Wanderlost series about what does it take for a man to realize he does not have his shit together.
Simon continues with his unique observations and misadventures in Sweden, South Africa, Victoria Falls, Kruger National Park, The Arizona Desert, San Francisco, Yosemite, New Zealand, and Rome.
Simon Williams is an author who believes in the adage, write what you know. So, his two memoir series, TORN and WANDERLOST, encapsulate the three themes he knows best in this world, fear, regret, and inspiration.
Life has not always been easy for Simon, whoever he keeps on fighting. His honest and forthright openness on the issues that have dogged him as he found a determination to continue struggling for the one thing in his life that is most important to him and that still eludes him to this day.
Born in a small, dry town in Australia, after residing in over 45 different locations, Simon now calls Miami, Florida home.
His books are always tinged with sufficient humorous relief to keep uplifting readers as they must follow Simon through what have been some extremely harrowing exploits over his 50 years.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.
The incredible journey of author Simon Williams continues in Wanderlost 4: More Shots of Literary Tequila for the Restless Soul. Tales of missed celebrity sightings, uncomfortable encounters with a DJ years apart, and more brings this book to life in a hilarious and unique way. Here is the synopsis.
The Synopsis
From being mistakenly besieged by an adoring crowd in a Gothenburg bar, to being pulled over by Arizona highway patrol with an arsenal in the boot of the car, to having a wild elephant stop him from getting a cold beer in Zimbabwe, what else can go wrong on a trip?
These are one man's gripping stories of wandering our planet that Conde Nast doesn't want you to know. Simon explains exactly what not to do when you find yourself in a scary situation.
Nobody travels like this anymore. Maybe for good reason. Simon Williams doesn't go looking for trouble in life, but when he finds it he never keeps his sarcastic mouth shut.
