Book excerpt: In 1974, at the height of hippie culture, women's liberation and sexual freedom, the author set off on a journey that lasted nineteen months through Central and South America and included the birth of her daughter in the Andean highlands of Ecuador. As an artist, she kept a journal of over 100 pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations of the places she visited. Traveling with her eccentric boyfriend by train, plane, bus, ship and hitchhiking, she encountered many unusual situations and people and even a tropical disease, Leishmaniasis, that a local healer called leprosy. Finding a house to rent in Otavalo, Ecuador, the author created acrylic paintings of the incredible landscape surrounding her home, while she was pregnant. Her mother came to Ecuador to be with her when she gave birth with her father arriving a week later to meet his granddaughter. This book displays the artwork she created and tells the unique story of her travels and her evolution as an artist and mother living in Ecuador in a time before technology.

Book excerpt: A lust for travel and adventure drives the Messiah of Budget Travel and his unwitting disciples to extraordinary lengths as they strive to journey a bit further and a bit longer. None more so than the Tightwad Economist, who has just $3000 and ten months to get from Los Angeles to Santiago de Chile. Budget about $10 a day for transport, food, accommodation, visas and booze. This tale chronicles the adventures of Tightwad and his Gringo mates on the Gringo Trail in the early 1990s when post offices and the Gringo grapevine were communications bread and butter for travellers. Much of Central America was just emerging from civil wars and ruthless dictatorships, while South American countries struggled with drugs, and poverty and a reputation for violence and corruption. Tightwad and his mates dispel some of the myths as they irreverantly ply the trail and open their eyes to the magic of Latin America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Theroux never made reservations as he a rode old trains around the world. Tim Cahill didn't book an adventure travel specialist when he ended up in the worlds weirdest places. Not knowing what will happen is the adventure in adventure travel. Before adventure travel web sites and adventure travel magazines and blogs there was just travel. It was more of a "wherever you go, there you are" mindset put forward in the People's Guide to Mexico. When you travel alone, strange things happen.Close calls, questionable decisions, the road not taken becomes the road not on the map. Somewhere between dazed and confused and Hunter S. Thompson, Robert Lanz channels both Dr. Phil and Dr. Drew and sometimes Forest Gump, hitting the gringo trail when it wasn't always well marked. And between his travels he always ends up back at his straight job as a psychiatric social worker in a busy Emergency Room where the list of "everything else" is long and challenging and where the adventures are every bit as intense as those on the road. A good social worker no matter where he is has good stories. Of course they don't all end well, but well, they end. Some of his stories make you cry. Some make you laugh. Some are disgusting. Some piss you off. Hey, just like a night in the ER.

Book excerpt: Legendary travel writer Paul Theroux drives the entire length of the US-Mexico border, then goes deep into the hinterland, on the back roads of Chiapas and Oaxaca, to uncover the rich, layered world behind today's brutal headlines. Paul Theroux has spent his life crisscrossing the globe in search of the histories and peoples that give life to the places they call home. Now, as immigration debates boil around the world, Theroux has set out to explore a country key to understanding our current discourse: Mexico. Just south of the Arizona border, in the desert region of Sonora, he finds a place brimming with vitality, yet visibly marked by both the US Border Patrol looming to the north and mounting discord from within. With the same humanizing sensibility he employed in Deep South, Theroux stops to talk with residents, visits Zapotec mill workers in the highlands, and attends a Zapatista party meeting, communing with people of all stripes who remain south of the border even as their families brave the journey north. From the writer praised for his "curiosity and affection for humanity in all its forms" (New York Times Book Review), On the Plain of Snakes is an exploration of a region in conflict.

Download or read book Gringo written by Chesa Boudin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-04-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Gringo, Chesa Boudin takes us on a delightfully engaging trip through Latin America, in an ingenious combination of memoir and commentary" (Howard Zinn). Gringo charts two journeys, both of which began a decade ago. The first is the sweeping transformation of Latin American politics that started with Hugo Chávez's inauguration as president of Venezuela in 1999. In that same year, an eighteen-year-old Chesa Boudin leaves his middle-class Chicago life -- which is punctuated by prison visits to his parents, who were incarcerated when he was fourteen months old for their role in a politically motivated bank truck robbery -- and arrives in Guatemala. He finds a world where disparities of wealth are even more pronounced and where social change is not confined to classroom or dinner-table conversations, but instead takes place in the streets. While a new generation of progress-ive Latin American leaders rises to power, Boudin crisscrosses twenty-seven countries throughout the Americas. He witnesses the economic crisis in Buenos Aires; works inside Chávez's Miraflores palace in Caracas; watches protestors battling police on September 11, 2001, in Santiago; descends into ancient silver mines in Potosí; and travels steerage on a riverboat along the length of the Amazon. He rarely takes a plane when a fifteen-hour bus ride in the company of unfettered chickens is available. Including incisive analysis, brilliant reportage, and deep humanity, Boudin's account of this historic period is revelatory. It weaves together the voices of Latin Americans, some rich, most poor, and the endeavors of a young traveler to understand the world around him while coming to terms with his own complicated past. The result is a marvelous mixture of coming-of-age memoir and travelogue.

Download or read book The Adventures Of The Lazy Gringo written by B J Nelson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ADVENTURES OF THE LAZY GRINGO is the story of stressed out beaten down ex Miami Beach vice cop Jake Westerwheel (aka The Lazy Gringo) who gets set up, knocked down, loses it all, becomes a homeless beach bum, then in a bizarre twist of fate gets a job as bodyguard for Charlie Crowne, a crooked crypto billionaire playboy who is sleeping with Jake's gorgeous ball-busty blonde ex wife, Shana. Crowne has a shadowy past and an even darker future. When Crowne realizes Shana is trying to blackmail him, he sets up Jake to be the fall guy patsy then has her murdered. Crowne then fakes his own death aboard his yacht during a Caribbean hurricane and disappears, taking several billion of his investors money with him. Meanwhile, Jake is arrested for first degree murder. Jake appears so guilty and has so little chance of proving his innocence that he decides to flee to Mexico. South of the border, he buys a Jeep and a new identity, and drives south to the Yucatan in search of evidence to prove Crowne's duplicity, and to clear his own name. The trail goes cold, but at the end of the road Jake finds the magical beach paradise of Mixlic. Knowing he doesn't have much choice, he decides to drop out off the grid, find a funky jungle palapa and stay there, quitting his stressful life and becoming the world's laziest beach bum, aka The Lazy Gringo. He commits himself to mastering the art of being lazy, but just as his worries start melting away both true love and major trouble find him. The Lazy Gringo is shocked back to reality. He falls in love with beautiful eco warrior/yogini Ixschelle who is threatened by Mexican gangsters working for a shadowy business consortium run by the infamous El Gordo Vidal and his Juarez drug cartel. The cartel plans to develop the fifty miles of virgin beach, lagoons and jungle south of Mixlic, a protected biosphere worth billions when transformed into a major tourist center and cruise ship port. Ixschelle and her friends want to stop them, but it is a hopeless David versus Goliath struggle. Despite the danger, the Lazy Gringo volunteers to be Ixschelle's hero, meaning he suddenly finds himself up against the entire Mexican mafia, plus the local police if they find out he is a wanted fugitive. To make matters worse, a girl he had an earlier affair with is found dead at the bottom of a cenote, and once again, our hero is falsely blamed and arrested. The Lazy Gringo finds himself locked in a Mexican prison now double framed as the murderer of not just one, but now two sexy exes. He realizes it is all over, but then the last honest cop Mexico shows up, Federale Colonel Cordero, the nemesis of El Gordo Vidal, and a man with a plan. Cordero tells The Lazy Gringo he has two choices, life in prison or to go to work for him. Cordero compels both The Lazy Gringo and his motley crew of fellow fugitive local badass amigos to become a Magnificent Seven type Suicide Squad bunch of Expendables. Their mission impossible is to set up El Gordo and somehow take him down at his massive beachfront compound. It is an offer they can't refuse, plus El Gordo has a 100 million peso reward on his head, so The Lazy Gringo and amigos go to work for Colonel Cordero, all leading to the big climactic finale.
