During the turbulent 1960s, when much of the Western world was undergoing social upheaval and unrest, and years before computers, GPS, smartphones and modern-day guidebooks, two young men set off from their native England to work their way around the world. Their unique odyssey was crammed with adventure and incident, and many of their experiences were extraordinary-even by other seasoned travellers' standards.

While most of the book is based on the author's personal experiences-different interests and employment sometimes took the friends their separate ways-it is basically the story of how the young men lived, worked and travelled in numerous countries, and of how they succeeded, despite all the odds, in attaining their goal.

Above all, it is a story about life; hardship and happiness, frustration and fun, obstacles and opportunities, adversity, romance and personal fulfilment. Told in an easy to read, engaging way that is guaranteed to keep the reader interested and entertained throughout, this is a fascinating account of a unique, adventure-filled marathon world tour.
