“I live vicariously through Kevin’s travels. True story.” --- Wendy Z
“Kevin is a well-traveled gentleman and full of hilarious stories.” --Geoffrey Mashah
“Kevin’s perspective on life and locale is creative, unique, and delightful.” -- Joan B
This travel adventure book will take you to dozens of countries on every continent. Kevin Kimpel has never met a stranger. He doesn’t just visit countries—he experiences them. He stays in strangers’ homes, AirBnBs, primitive huts, youth hostels, sailing ships, the occasional hotel, and an orphanage in India. He bungee jumps, hikes, climbs mountains, kayaks, zips around in zodiacs, river rafts, travels by train, and soars in hot air balloons.
“I have not bought a book in 20 years, but for Kevin’s, I am going to make an exception.” --Don B
“I always knew my former student would travel far.” -- Lois F
“Only Kevin could climb mountains, go on safaris, and navigate busy cities in one pair of Crocs.” --Rose P

Kevin’s cardiac pacemaker never slows him down. Well, there was one trip… you’ll definitely want to read about it… and whatever you think you know about hospitals in Nairobi, forget about it.
Kevin is a naturist, so he does some of these activities au naturel. You’ll enjoy reading about that, too. If you want to learn about other cultures, history, food from around the world, ecotourism, and how to keep yourself amused on day-long airplane flights, this book is definitely for you.
