Tynan traveled six continents and seventy countries over eight years. Over that time he met hundreds of people and found himself in the most varied of circumstances. This book is a collection of fifteen of the most remarkable people he met or traveled with, and the stories he made with them. The stories include everything from breaking down in a school bus in the middle of the desert to exploring the Parias catacombs to trying to set up an arranged marriage on a ship in the Pacific.
