Description: When I was a venturesome youth, the spirit of wanderlust, stirred by a quarrel with a girl I loved, called me to roam the restless seas. I was working my way through college and thought it would be no more difficult to quest for knowledge in far places. I started out two weeks after my eighteenth birthday, with three dollars and a determination not to return, regardless of setbacks, until I had encompassed the earth. My Odyssey also led me through the worlds of the heart and the soul, but I must confess that my first draft of this book ignored romantic episodes which revealed imprudence. Then the voice of the one I had loved wakened me, whispering, "Tell it just as it happened, Bill. Hold nothing back that really matters. Please, for my sake." This saga therefore unveils the heartaches of a courtship which challenged me throughout my journey and has influenced all the remaining days of my life. It also includes intimate and educational encounters selected from thousands of personal contacts. I found that men, women, and children the world over seek love and understanding, and eagerly open their hearts if you only meet them halfway.
