Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Tomfool Traveler is really just a fun, fun read. It is about two dozen stories or, sometimes, moments, as the author calls them. They span the gamut from near death to embarrassed to death (by one s own bad manners. The author has had the chance to travel the world on behalf of a charitable organization and to interact with people from all classes. He basically likes people, even if they are a pain in the neck, and relates his adventures or misadventures from a humorous perspective. The territory covered is just about everywhere on the planet. There s lots of travel stuff -- heavy on airports, which are worlds unto themselves, especially after 26 hour flights! A few chapters delve deep into one country in particular (Iran, Bolivia). Most cover a subject and touch on many places that relate. For example, starting from ground zero -- the chapter on The Great Equalizer is about having to go to the bathroom, john, restroom, toilet, WC, whatever. It s pretty funny what a man in a 3-piece silk Italian suit can find himself having to do, being woefully unprepared. Another example -- hotels or wherever you re staying. That chapter, called The Peoples Hotel of Moscow spans a funky hotel which was a throwback to the Soviet era, to a Sydney country place, to an Indonesian prince s estate. There is a lot of good feeling. People are, after all, entertaining.at least, in retrospect. And sometimes good hearty laughter, too. About 144 pages. 23 stories. Readable and enjoyable by high school level and above.

Laugh-out-loud stories, alternated with thought provoking, punctuated with downright ridiculous predicaments. These humorous and witty yarns about Nix's travel experiences span the globe - Russia, Nigeria, China, India, Pakistan, Mexico, Jordan, Sweden, Australia, you name it - even as far away as Texas and Montana. C.C. "Nix" Nixdorf has found himself in situations that any naïve traveler could, or the most experienced sometimes has. Go far away often enough and you're at the will and whim of the travel gods. Nix has survived and pays homage in these twenty-two tales of whimsy, all salted with fondness for our crazy, whacked planet and its wonderfully diverse peoples. "It's all true," Nix swears. "Reality provides its own wild ride. At least, mine has!".
