Wanderlost 4: More Shots of Literary Tequila for the Restless Soul
These are the incredible true stories of one man's highs and lows in life as he sets out in the world to pursue a destiny to overcome his greatest fault, his low self-assurance. A remarkable book of anecdotes and personal memories of travel that will fill your heart, touch your soul, and bring tears to your eyes with laughter.
From the highs of witnessing the grandeur of Yosemite NP for the first time and having a night safari in Kruger National Park to the lows of being mistakenly besieged by an adoring crowd in a Gothenburg bar, to being pulled over by Arizona highway patrol with a gun in the boot of the car, to having a wild elephant block his car arriving to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, Simon's unique and fresh perspective, insight, and voice, on life, travel, and human interaction, will have a reader imagining they are trekking the to the 4 corners of the globe as they enjoy his wit and enthusiasm.
Some people must search for adventure, while for others it seems to just land on their doorstep. At some point in our lives we realize it is not the objects we possess but the experiences we have had that bring us joy in life.
Travelling - it leaves you speechless then turns you into story tellers - Ibn Battuta

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.

The Review
From lessons on living your best life for fear of missing some truly amazing moments, to the finer points of why you shouldn’t argue with a police officer over rugby tickets, author Simon Williams tells tales of amazingly funny, personal and witty stories from his many travels. Even stories of impersonating famous athletes leads the author into some wild nights many won’t forget.
The writing in this book is very personal, like a long letter written to an old friend. The raw, humorous and fast paced read often brings the reader in more, waiting as each story unfolds in directions you’ll never see coming.
The Verdict
Overall this was a fantastic read. Full of adventure, hilarious situations and interactions you’d never believe if the author hadn’t just relayed them to you, this novel continues to bring a funny series of travel books into the hands of eager readers everywhere. Bringing a lighter side to the often stressful world of travel, author Simon Williams does a marvelous job of bringing these stories to life in a refreshing way, and I look forward to reading the final book in this series to see what all of his travels have taught him overall.
