Surviving an accidental shooting by a childhood friend
Dropping out of Harvard to pursue life on his own terms
Road-tripping across America and backpacking through South America
Facing a firing squad in Chile and escaping death
Turning down a drug deal at the Colombian border that was actually a trap
Sailing across the Atlantic Ocean from Brazil to South Africa
Falling in love with an Irish nurse during apartheid and marrying in India
Climbing mountains without oxygen, living at sea, and traveling to well over 80 countries
