Stranger in Every Land: Reflections of a Transcultural Adult in a Shrinking World - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Stranger in Every Land chronicles my journey out of the good ol' USA and into exotic Asian countries and inviting Pacific islands where I stayed long enough to no longer completely identify with my country of origin, but never long enough to fully be regarded as a native. In Stranger in Every Land: Reflections of a Transcultural Adult in a Shrinking World, I share the hilarious stories, the unforgettable experiences, and the internal regurgitations of the last quarter century which transformed a lad from Titusville, Florida into a Transcultural Adult in a Shrinking World, a stranger in every land (even the land of my birth), yet one who has learned to be at home speaking new tongues, and embracing customs and cultures I never imagined possible.
