A Blind Date With The World : The Great Global Scavanger Hunt

Rating:
Summary: Wow! What a travel adventure!
Review: This debut book by Chalmers is smart, witty and offers the reader an insight of our Global Village at 80 mph. Wow! An unbelievable travel epic. Even though he was a cultural terrorist, his descriptions of the destinations he visited were a combination of beauty, the truthful realities and a birds-eye-view of the sights and sounds of the most exotic of locales. I'm looking forward to where his travels take me next.

Summary: Gonzo travel adventure
Review: Well, move it on over Phinneas Fogg. Around the world in eighty days just doesn't cut it anymore! Join these two lunatics, the intrepid Chalmers and Valvur, as they tear around the planet in a 17 day pursuit of glory and cold beer, not to mention hundreds of arcane tasks which must be completed to win the most unique scavenger hunt of all time. These guys are nuts: highly adaptable, courageous, stupid, cunning, energetic, and numbingly exhausted as they wend their way across 4 continents, stubbornly refusing to admit that winning this race really nets them nothing except for the richly deserved bragging rights they earn as perhaps the craziest tourists many parts of our world have ever encountered. Put them up there with Stephens and Catherwood, Lewis and Clark, Stanley and Livingston, and Laurel and Hardy. Funny, insightful, irreverend, and ultimately charming. I had a blast reading this book, and you will too.
