Prepare to experience the world in unfamiliar ways
through the eyes of an indefatigable retired physicist
turned amateur cultural anthropologist who abhors
tourist crowds and has wandered the world for the past
thirty years with little more than a fat US passport, a
twenty pound backpack, a tiny "spy" camera, a pair of
comfortable M3851 Propet walking shoes and an acute
appreciation of serendipity.
Pondering
the questions that have plagued thinkers through the
ages while mingling in the lives and activities of
ordinary people doing ordinary things in places seldom
visited by the jet set holiday crowd, he asks himself
the hard questions… and sometimes finds elusive answers.
With an extraordinary talent for locating excellent
value lodging, he shops for hotels like most people shop
for vegetables.
Walking
the hidden nooks and wrinkles of every new town, he
relies on spontaneous encounters with colorful local
snoops to guide his quests until a cozy retreat meeting
his comfort and pecuniary constraints eventually
materializes... only rarely sleeping in an airline
lounge or bus terminal. "Join me as I describe my unusual travel experiences in a quirky series of Internet based 'postcards' embellished with the thousands of photographs I've taken since January 2000 and a bounty of useful noncommercial reference materials." Fred L Bellomy |
