With no credit card, no schedule and no back up plan, Christopher embarked on a trip of a lifetime with only 50 euros in his pocket. Hitchhiking by boat, car and many other means of travel, Christopher tells his story of crossing the Atlantic, adventuring through the jungles of South America, and visiting a total of forty-five countries over a four year span. He worked as a crew member on ships, as a tour guide, a gold prospector and several other jobs that helped him along his journey.
Not only did Christopher encounter beautiful landscapes, dangerous adventures and unbelievable hospitality, he finds his relationship with God to be stronger and finds the love of his life, Michal. This is Christopher’s personal story of how traveling the world opened up his eyes, his spirit and his heart.
This book is a true adventure and you are along for the ride. Christopher’s story takes you to the different countries he visits, the cultures and traditions that he experiences and relationships he made along the way. He ends the book with thanking all the people that made an impact on his journey and gives 55 tips for the backpacking traveler. I really enjoyed reading his journey because he not only gives you the good and funny stories, he tells you some of the dangers he encountered. I totally recommend this book to people who love reading true stories of adventure and travel.
