20 Years Later – Stories, Screw-Ups & Lessons from 20 Years of Overseas Travel
–
After 20 years, 7 continents (twice!), and more travel mishaps than I care to admit, I’ve packed the best stories, lessons, and hard-earned wisdom into one honest, no-fluff guide.
Part memoir & part survival manual with just enough humor to make you feel better about your own travel mistakes. Perfect for anyone curious about my travel life.
