After I ditched my return ticket in Chile and took out a student loan to finance hitchhiking from South America to Alaska, people said, “You’re crazy!” I replied, “So was Columbus!” They insisted, “This is so financially unsound!” I cried, “So were The Pyramids!” The traveling world is one of many beautiful, amusing, and terrifying moments. Sometimes, it’s raccoon attacks. Other times, it's bandits on a train who want your iPod. Often, it is giving a smile that says, “Sorry, I’m a gringo, and everything confuses me.” When life is an extended, nomadic journey, your universe expands in wild, unimaginable ways. Even when you find yourself racing the clock to find a hospital to administer a rabies vaccination, you can’t help but fall in love with each new day and the unexpected prospects it brings. Here are forty tales from the winding path of my nomadic travels. I wouldn’t trade these moments of wonder, heartbreak, humor, and discovery for anything. Happy trails!

About the Author When he’s not traveling or getting mauled by rodents in the jungle, Luke Maguire Armstrong spends his time being rejected by girls in bars in Antigua, Guatemala. He broke his left ankle river dancing and his right ankle trying to impress the locals in Belize. After taking the wrong lesson from Into The Wild, Luke took out a student loan and planned to hitchhike from Chile to Alaska. He stopped in Guatemala, where he spent four years directing the non-profit Nuestros Ahijados’ health and education programs. His efforts to combat infant malnutrition were featured on the ABC News 20/20 Global Health Special: Be The Change, Save a Life. Give Luke a guitar; he’ll sing you a song. Hand him a whiskey; he’ll tell you a tale. Give him both, and he’ll give you something to drink about. In Brooklyn, he wears his thick-rimmed glasses. On the coast, he dons his pirate pants. In the desert, he builds sandcastles. In the third person, he writes his bio.

Highly Recommended for both the Travel Addict and the Armchair Traveler By Diana Stevan Luke Armstrong’s travelogue, based on his nomadic experiences, is one that anyone with a sense of adventure can appreciate. Not only does he take you to exotic places, where you’ll encounter people from various cultures that you would love to meet yourself, but he also leaves you with thoughts about what a wonderful world we live in.The quest for something different started when Luke was three, which he relates at the beginning of his book. It was the first time he hit the road. At three! The need to explore is obviously in Luke’s blood, and I’m glad he’s taken the time to share what he’s discovered. I especially enjoyed the story of the girl in Kenya who wouldn’t go home, his challenges with a goat harp, the Iceland penis museum (you’ve got to read this one), his experience as an insect smuggler, how he handled the dangerous travelers he encountered on a train, his paranoid adventures in Morocco (courtesy of powerful weed), a karaoke convention (who would’ve thought?), a confusing mariachi band that wouldn’t give up, and a tailor extraordinaire in Guatemala. And there is so much more. His humanity shines through in the love life he reveals and the horrors he’s witnessed. He delivers one surprising anecdote after another, with both candor and a sense of humor. I highly recommend this book for both the travel addict and the armchair traveler regardless of age.

I assumed it would be amusing but no more. I was wrong - thoroughly blown away. Not only can the guy write and tell a story (Dangerous Strangers on a Train in Kenya is gripping and tense - even though nothing actually "happens") with wit (The Amazing Journey of the Avocado had me actually laughing aloud), but there is a point to each story beyond drawing attention to his own considerable narrative skills. A hike up a mountain in Guatemala becomes an opportunity to see the world from that vantage point. Every adventure is connected to a bigger picture. It is travel as experience, not "look at all the cool places I've been that you haven't" that characterizes so much travel lit. The author even includes an acknowledgement of his own position as a white American (his mantra "I'm sorry: I'm a stupid gringo and everything confuses me" has become my own travel battle cry) and he looks at the limits of the nomadic experience beyond the romance: a paragraph on the melancholia of the aging nomads who have stayed on the road too long and out-traveled their youthful ideals (concluding a reminiscence of deciding to leave an island paradise in Colombia) is nothing short of stunning in its honest eloquence worthy of a writer twice his age. Treat yourself
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Lovely Read. By Thomas Kenosian Hoy Luke's book is hilarious, touching, tense, as well as endlessly and effortlessly readable, and all of it presented if succinct vignettes that draw you in quickly and never overstay their welcome. From selling cigarettes in London, being mauled by a rabid raccoon, arguing with Kenyan police, to fulfilling the dearest wishes of a dead relative, all of the stories have dramatic heft without being heavy handed, and are always buoyed by the author's playfulness and sense of humor. It's also all arranged in a cohesive thematic arc that gives depth to that tremendous variety of stories at hand. Want to laugh? Get scared? Ruminate on the innate connections we make with people and the world around us just by engaging the life that is set before us? Well, you'll do all of that, and then get inspired to get out there and live out loud the way Armstrong has.
