An alternative traveler's life, starting on the Hippie Trail to India in the sixties, that left me addicted to risk and adventures thereafter. A year and a half in a Lebanese prison did not worry me for long, and soon I was back on the road to India, and then trekking in the Karakoram mountains of Pakistan. I worked in Hong Kong as a film extra for a while, until I had to go on the run from criminals there, right across the breadth of China. This short book of smuggling and other escapades is intended as a free taster for my full book of travels and wonders seen, which most readers will find to be witty, observant and informative.
