A new surge of interest in Asia, better transportation and accommodations, have made tourism in this part of the world a booming business. But Asian travel today is not the same as what it was decades ago. The difference lies in the vast number of visitors we have today, the ease with which one can travel and the information that's available to everyone. In the old days, only a handful were lucky-or rather tough enough-to have made it to distant lands over uncertain high seas. Most of them, driven by a sheer spirit of exploration, set out on a journey into the unknown just to satisfy a burning desire for travel and adventure.
Here is a collection of stories by a tenacious adventurer who outfitted his own sailing yacht, scoured the roughest mountain peaks, trekked the densest jungles and explored the most dangerous deep in Asian waters, and related his unique experiences in pages of well-written prose. Harold Stephens gives the readers a vivid idea of how it was to travel off the beaten track in Asia way back then. But most of all.
"This is more than a book about travel in Asia, and more than collection of tales of adventure. It is a wealth of candid observations about different customs and cultures from the pen of Harold Stephens the Philosopher." - Tony Walthham, The Bangkok Post
