Publisher's Synopsis
A big trip as a catalyst for personal growth is a familiar story. But what happens when travel becomes a way of life rather than a one-time escape?
Tim Mathis, author of the independent hit The Dirtbag's Guide to Life, has spent decades exploring this question. A seasoned interpreter of adventure, culture, and life's absurdities, he shares 15 true tales from a lifetime of travel, disruption, and transformation in What Happens If You Keep Going?
Among these stories, you'll find:
- A teenage clown evangelist in Peru facing a reality check.
- A pilgrimage in Spain achieving the opposite of its intended result.
- A disoriented teetotaler on an Australian booze cruise finding unexpected clarity in love.
- A grueling 2,600-mile hike redefined by a terminal cancer diagnosis.
For nomads, armchair adventurers, and anyone searching for meaning in the chaos, this heartfelt, often hilarious collection invites you to imagine how travel might transform your life if you kept going.
