Some insufferable backpacker leaves behind his perfectly good life in the U.S. for a hot, disease-infested hellhole to eat grub worms, catch giardia and build mud huts with the locals - then has the nerve to claim the experience was enlightening! This is not that type of book. This is travel from a whole new perspective - that of the worst traveler in the world, Dan Fazio. He hasn't written another \"Eat, Pray, Love\" - it's actually more like \"Panic, Sweat, Curse.\" Fazio's idea of international travel involves relaxing in a Mediterranean villa and stuffing himself with various cured meats. Unfortunately, his wife was drawn to the whole grub worms and giardia thing, and she managed to drag him along on a grueling 10-month death march through Europe, Southeast Asia, South America and Mexico. Shattering romantic travel illusions about swimming in waterfalls or picking olives on a pastoral Tuscan ranch, Fazio reads a bit like Chuck Klosterman if he were being carted around the globe in Bill Bryson's backpack - and reveals that the average traveler spends most of his time puking, being puked on, about to die in a fiery bus crash - or all of the above simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51325411787040,"sku":"NEW1451516266","price":43.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/716mmndfX-L.jpg?v=1773155363","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-reluctant-traveler-how-to-explore-the-world-without-learning-anything-about-yourself-or-other-cultures-1451516266","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
