After losing his job in 1983, Colin Guest embarked on a journey that would transform his life.
Starting in Iran, he worked in fifteen countries throughout the Middle East and North Africa and lived a life most can only dream of. Working on everything from accommodation blocks in Algiers to five-star palaces in Brunei, he saw the world – and was paid handsomely for it. Now, he’s finally putting pen to paper to tell all.
In this memoir, he recounts experiences and memorable anecdotes in the hopes that he can inspire those who dream of a better life. In his own words, ‘positive thoughts give positive results. Negative ones, negative results.’
