To Find: The Search for Meaning in Life on the Gringo Trail

The year is 1980. Author J.R. Klein aka Alex Moreau has just finished a doctoral degree. Totally burned out life is dull routine monotonous. With a mere four hundred and ninety-five dollars in his pocket he sets out with photographer friend Stefan Kale on a trek through Mexico and Central America. TO FIND is an adventure across raw deserts up into remote mountain villages out onto pristine islands and deep into tropical rain forests. Relegated to the most basic forms of transportation - peasant buses dilapidated trains and more often than not using their thumbs to snag a ride - they live a vagabond existence devoid of plans destinations and schedules. Above all TO FIND is an excursion of the soul. It is a kaleidoscope of exhilarating experiences that includes mystical encounters with the lost civilization of the Maya and a rich cast of characters that flows endlessly across the pages. Klein delivers an unforgettable journey of self-discovery in the tradition of Jack Kerouacs On the Road and Jon Krakauers Into the Wild.
