Ebook: Road Trips: Journeys in the Unspoiled World

Trevor Carolan's eagerness for encountering faraway peoples and places equals Paul Theroux's excitement when he hits the road again in To the Ends of the Earth.

Veteran globe-trotter Trevor Carolan conjures 19 evocative road tales for armchair and seasoned travellers alike. A harvest of encounters with intriguing people, remarkable landscapes and cultures, his reportage sings with a love of food, art, literature, music and wine. Ranging from Bali to California, Cuba to Laos and Hawaii, wild British Columbia, new Poland and old Ireland, these meditations in search of an authentic life invite you to journey along to Morocco's Sahara and to Buddhist temples in Mother India, meet Janis Joplin and B.B. King on the road, discover Lisbon's beloved fado singers or drift on a slow boat down the Mekong. Whether it's living the artist's life in France and Madrid or dancing your prayers at a Burning Man-generational forest rave, this is travel writing for a world in need of joy and renewal.
