John Derringer, Bill Hayes and myself have a great conversation about my book...We talk about some of the problems and dangerous places that I came across, quash some of the misconceptions about backpacking and visiting 3rd World countries, as well as get into some of the funnier moments of traveling naive and without a clue...

More Confessions...Chapter 27. CULTURE SHOCK
They say that "all good things must come to an end." However, 'they' can often be clueless idiots.
I had zero intention of letting the magical and educational experiences of the past two years come to an end. Despite being forced to return home to deal with a family dilemma, I knew that my time in Canada was going to be short....I would be back travelling soon enough.
Nonetheless, my return was met with a lot of uncertainties...the main one being whether or not I would be leaving the airport in handcuffs...

More Confessions...Chapter 26. THE EMAIL
Between my incredible job running a pub, living on a beach and having Southern Africa as my playground, one could say that life was pretty good. Even the 'stressful' moments, such as being in a bus accident, ultimately proved to be incredible experiences and fascinating stories.
It couldn't stay this sweet forever...
It didn't.
A simple email from home would dramatically change my perspective, attitude and future travel plans... A simple email would unlock the cage that I had so wonderfully stored my anger and frustrations within...

More Confessions...Chapter25. LIVING IN REALITY
A common theme seemed to pop up anytime I contacted anybody from home. Friends and family were both curious when I was coming back to Canada...when I was going to come back to reality.
This was a question that I didn't have an answer for. I wasn't even sure if I understood what 'reality' was supposed to be. I knew that the past two years of traveling had taught me a lot about life and, more importantly, myself.
Life of a beach, watching the sun rise over the Indian Ocean each and every day is a pretty sweet 'reality' by my definition...
