Price: $21.95 | As a fellow traveler, albeit in the comfortable driver’s seat of my motor home and not the back of a bike, I admit I was intrigued when offered the chance of reviewing The Road That Has No End by Tim Travis. I was not disappointed.
The reader follows the travels of Tim and his wife, Cindie, as they sell most of their worldly possessions and start off on a proposed seven year bike journey from Prescott, Arizona, to see the world. This particular book details the first leg of their long journey from home through Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaraqua, Costa Rica, and, eventually, Panama. One feels the entire gamut of emotions as their story unfolds. Some incidents are funny; some sad, and some downright dangerous. What did they learn on this trip? Tim describes it best. "We learned the true nature of ‘poverty’ and how the meaning of ‘happiness’ is as individual as the people we met…"
This book is for anyone who likes to visit different places and cultures…both the active traveler and the "armchair" adventurer. I can hardly wait to read the next installment in their personal odyssey. Until then, Tim (and Cindi, too)…Happy Traveling! | | |
