One day, Matt shouldered a backpack and stepped out the door, to a world of travel writing and adventures. Over the five years that followed, he ventured through ten countries and three continents, from the lofty peaks of the Himalayas to the arid wastes of the Gobi desert. On rickety Soviet-era sleeper carriages and futuristic Japanese bullet trains he began to discover that travel was not always glamorous and that the rough tales could inform him just as much as the smooth. Follow along in ten stories, as Matt travels by train, boat, bus, rickshaw, camel, flippers, and his own two feet to explore the world and slake his thirst for adventure.
