"Hilarious, inspiring, and beautifully written." George Mahood, author Free Country

One morning, I left my apartment in Seville, Spain with no fixed time limit, no reservations, and only a loose idea of an itinerary. My goal was to see if I could still have the kind of spontaneous adventures I'd enjoyed in my youth. I traveled 6000 miles through 13 countries by train, and the results - often hilarious, occasionally harrowing, definitely life-changing - form the basis of Adventures of a Railway Nomad: How Our Journeys Guide Us Home.

"Warmth, wisdom, and humor ... I loved this book and laughed out loud on more than a few occasions." Susan Pohlman, author, Halfway to Each Other.
