I like traveling to new places but I'm not so fond of travel books. Still, after reading your recommendation I'm now intrigued And I may read this one. Thank you for a great review.

Your review is very positive and talks about all the awesome things in the book. However, I would like to know if there is any swearing in the book, if there were any errors, or what the targeted audience. Overall, your review was good, but could have had more details added.

Interesting book.
As a traveller myself, I love the idea of writing a book about two men getting in touch with their wildest side and travel the world in all of its detail.
It was particularly impressive to notice the particular relationship between the protagonist and Sam. Both so dissimilar in personality, but also able to understand each other.
Sam is the one that drives the protagonist to forget about his job, his life, his certainties and his self-imposed boundaries. The protagonist is more pragmatic and realistic, but inside of him he is looking for something more. And Sam is ready to let that part of him come to surface.
I love the idea of the book, even though the style of the writing is not of my favourite ones. It is simple, rapid and informal.

As a full time traveler I'd love this book for sure. Even more interesting to see everything from a man’s viewpoint.

:wink2: I feel sure that a book like this will have hints of humor, satire and allusions all cropped up. Travel on its own is a liberating exercise. So to embark on a journey with characters of different categories through a good book, can only be a tour worthwhile.

This reminds me of many women's fiction books I've seen, except this has men as main characters instead of women. "Men's fiction?" Regardless, an interesting idea that sounds well crafted. Thanks for your review!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Today's BOTD already has me wanting to set off on a mission of my own! I love everything about travel, culture, exploration, and growth, as a result. This definitely is a book I want to read! I can't wait to journey alongside the main characters and learn through their experiences all of what life has to offer. Thank you so much! :-)
