Overview/synopsis:
The author strikes out with only the most modest of itineraries, trusting that the god of good fortune will smile down upon him once more. Both that, and a well-honed intuition, see him volunteering in France at the end of a northern summer, following several months trekking through tracts of Southern and Central Africa in the drier southern winter months.
During his subsequent return the following year, he meets a young Dutch lady at a lodge where they are both volunteers. He convinces her to continue with him to Zimbabwe and onwards to Botswana, the prelude to further intuitive adventures…
Reviews for Book I:
What I liked best about this book is that it seems a travel book of the “old style.” I’m a big fan of Edith Wharton, and her narrative voice of her many travels is similar…. Leo Anthony writes so vividly I felt as if I was watching a film. I could easily see myself walking these dusty streets and meeting the colorful characters he comes upon every few pages. A highly recommended read. Author Sass Green
Intuitive Journeys Near and Far was a pleasure to read, and Leo Anthony's laid back, relatable voice made it feel beautifully lived-in. Author Clay Smith,/i>
