Review
It has been said by many who have read my story, that they loved my descriptions of the places I visited and it made them feel like they , too, wanted to visit there. One called my descriptions, impressionistic writing. Another thinks it should be made into a movie. another likes the way I wrote it using the journals that I kept during my trip as my guide to tell the tale. There is Adventure, Drama, Sex, Love, Inspiration in this book. funny stories, poetry, photographs... I highly recommend reading it! it is a sleeper waiting to go viral!
From the Author
I wrote this book using my journals that I wrote in every day on my trip to Europe in 1971.I was 22 and a student , finishing 15 hours of independent studies to graduate as an English major. I loved the fact that I painted such vivid pictures of the people, places and things I saw and did. Now you can enjoy my memories, too.
I started out in Sweden on an island called Oland, visiting friends. Then I was on my own, traveling with a back pack, taking ferries, hitchhiking, living with a Welsh National poet and family in London, while I studied William Blake. Off on the back of a motorcycle. I visited Wales, hitched to Scotland, traveled with an Austrian mountain climber, off to The Isle of Skye to fall in love with a Scotsman named Angus. I stayed three days most places as was the length of time in the youth hostel. Journeyed to Ireland, France, crossed the great ice floes in Chamonix, rock climbed in the Black forest, went to Munich for Oktoberfest, visited Amsterdam where I taught the family to eat corn on the cob like Americans, stayed with friends I met on Skye in their home town near Bremen. Four months of traveling ...read about it. There are wonderful photographs from the places I visited and poetry that I also wrote in my journals along the way. Everybody loves it, so far.
