ADVENTURES OF A CONTINENTAL DRIFTER:
An Around-the-World Excursion into Weirdness, Danger, Lust, and the Perils of Street Food

Let others prattle about luxury cruises and first-class tourist excursions; Elliott Hester knows a better way. After quitting his job as a flight attendant, this intrepid drifter launched his career as a travel writer. In the first year alone, Hester trekked across 6 continents and 22 countries on a frugal ($60 a day) budget. His accounts of these “trips without itineraries” range from hilariously bizarre to downright hair-raising. An ideal airplane carry-on, especially for fans of Bill Bryson and Dave Barry, and fans of the hilarious tales from Hester’s first book, Plane Insanity, will not be disappointed.
