Award-winning travel narrative

  • First Place, Travel, Independent Press Award (2020)
  • Silver Medalist, North American Book Awards (2019)
  • Winner, Readers' Favorite Book Awards (5-Star Award)

It's weird, wild, and other-worldly out there.

In this second collection from a relentlessly inquisitive traveler, the world is not a backdrop-it's an odd, unpredictable, often ephemeral, and sometimes hilarious force. A simple trip becomes something else entirely when plans unravel, cultures collide, and the unexpected takes over.

With sharp wit and a reporter's eye for detail, these essays plunge you into moments most travelers avoid-and reveal why those are often the ones worth having.

  • See a 20-foot-long earthworm
  • Befriend a Brazilian shaman
  • Enjoy a whole-body chocolate massage...

This is travel at its most alive: unscripted, unsanitized, and impossible to forget.

And sometimes, it starts with a message you never expected: Your crocodile has arrived.

Part of The Curious Traveler series: True stories from the edge of misadventure.

Start with curiosity. Cross the line. See what happens next.
