Adventures of a Continental Drifter: An Around-the-World Excursion into Weirdness Danger Lust and the Perils of Street Food

One year. Six continents. Twenty-two countries. Endless stories to tell.. In October 2002 Elliott Hester sold his car abandoned his apartment and took off alone on a trip around the world during which he drifted to more than fifty destinations. Elliotts tales about his travels range from the bizarre to the hilarious to the flat-out shocking. Travel with him as he: . * Chases off transvestites in the South Pacific* Gets drunk on Estonian moonshine at the makers eightieth birthday party* Impersonates Samuel L. Jackson at the 38th International Film Festival in the Czech Republic* Ponders the Finnish tradition of sprinting from steamy sauna to plunge into the frigid Baltic Sea---naked!* And much more. Only an around-the-world excursion could produce such outlandish hair-raising hysterical adventures. And only Elliott Hester could make such vivid observations and write such vibrant insights about life---and people---on the road.
