Global Crossroads: Memoirs of a Travel Junkie

A die-hard traveler reflects on the myriad cross-cultural conflicts and challenges he has faced in his travels over five continents. From Tanzania to Thailand, Argentina to Australia, Peru to the Philippines, this collection of true short stories not only explores the dramatic and often surprising differences between the many people that exist on our planet, but also raises questions about the values we hold, our refusal to change them, the conflicts those values create, and the ensuing violence they generate. The reader will be occasionally shocked and often amused by the rich panorama of experiences, insights, and revelations that this veteran traveler has to offer.
