Thoroughly engaging journey!
Published by Kristina J , 4 years ago
This is one of British explorer and adventurer Levison Wood's long distance walks through multiple countries and tough terrain--this time through Central America. People interested in history, geography and human interest will enjoy this as he encounters bad weather, sketchy neighborhoods, and colorful characters. There is some humor in this, particularly with his companion, Alberto, which brings the reader in even more. It reminds me of Michael Palin's journeys, especially Around the World in 80 Days. It is interesting how in our modern age of communications, the basics of simply walking as the mode of travel strip all that away. Levison Wood has established himself firmly as a true student of life by on the ground exploration and the study of history and geography of a place. Those of us not fortunate enough to be able to go out on these kinds of adventures will feel as if we had after reading!
