Rating: Summary: I feel like I have made friends all over the world Review: While reading Take Me With You, I sometimes felt as if I were evesdropping or looking into a private conversation. In out of the way places and big cities, Newsham takes the time to get to know some incredible personalities. I realized that there are like-minded people living all over the world. Environmental concerns, family issues and dreams and desires being a major part of our lives. Whether you own half of Kenya or a 1,400 sq foot apartment in Portland, Oregon, we're all the same.Newsham tells the truth about travel. The great expectations, the letdowns, and the surprises. The feeling of dread when you realize that your trip is almost over, and soon you'll have to board the airplane back to your normal life. Everyone at some point wishes they could chuck everything, pick up a backpack and head out into the overlooked parts of the world. When that time comes in my life, I will look for Newsham's most recent book. Not since reading the Neverending Story when I was 11 years old have I been so totally engrossed and captured by a particular book. Keep up the good work Mr. Brad Newsham, I hope you sell a million copies!
