TRAVEL MEMOIR - Travelin' Man Across the Sahara and Beyond
The amazing true story of a 3,000 mile journey Dennis Feeheley took 30 years ago as a
19 year-old teenager trekking across 8 countries, 2 continents and the Sahara Desert while making four sea crossings by ship. With a youthful dream to explore the world, he set out with his brother John on the incredible adventure to the Sahara Desert and beyond... The brothers hitch-hiked 1,000 miles across the Sahara, bribed their way past a war zone, and were stowaways across the Sea. All done with $175.
Travelin Man is an uplifting true story... bursting with adventure, non-stop action, refreshing humor and keen insights into Muslim culture. Midway through the journey, the brothers run out of money and get lost in the Sahara yet must somehow make it through an intense guerilla checkpoint and cross a closed Algerian border.
Using their wits and nerve, the two young brothers overcame many dangers with a good natured but relentless do or die attitude. The tension continued to escalate until the final frantic minutes and a harrowing decision that could change their lives forever.....
