Getting Lost

<p>When you travel things go wrong. That might not sound like uplifting advice but in this hilarious collection of stories about mishaps in faraway places award-winning humorist Dave Fox proves otherwise.</p><p><br></p><p>At age eight Dave moves to England and nearly starts a riot in Northern Africa. As a nerdy teenager he inadvertently smuggles illegal radio equipment into Finland on his way to spending a year in Norway. In his college days he discovers it is not wise to seek inner peace inside an Icelandic volcano narrowly misses being stripped gassed and robbed (at least in his own head) on an overnight train through Italy and finds himself surrounded by machine gun-toting cops in Greece. </p><p><br></p><p><em>Getting Lost: Mishaps of an Accidental Nomad</em> spans 30 years of adventures and misadventures overseas from Dave's year as a British school boy to his teenage days as a foreign exchange student to his so-called adult life as a professional traveler. He weaves together tales both poignant and amusing in this memoir of a travel-obsessed geek.</p><p><br></p><p>Dave Fox's writing is hilarious....It's rare to find a person who has such unique stories to tell and can write about them to boot.</p><p>- Tim Bete Director of the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop</p>
