The Perambulations and Peregrinations of Peter Pollack Gregory Kastner

Adrift amid the cubicles, Peter can no longer stomach the corporate world and its bureaucratic inanities. Seeking purpose as well as closure to a failed love affair, he embarks upon a six month backpacking trip around Europe. But when he loses his irreplaceable train pass, Peter expands the journey to include six continents. Along the way, he treks through the Nepalese Himalayas, joins a truck safari through the heart of Africa and tries to breach a Bolivian border blockade. Despite a seeming myriad of deceitful taxi drivers, murderously inclined wildlife of both the hyena and homo sapiens varieties and nearly drowning on more than one occasion, Peter manages to see the Taj Mahal, visit the Galapagos Islands and fall again in love.
