After spending the past 30 years traveling on business to locations around the World, the time arrived when Malcolm Teasdale could visit places of his choosing. One would think that after spending so much time "on the road," that he would have thrown in the towel and settled down to a normal, peaceful life. What now appears to be an addiction or an extension of a midlife crisis, he seems hell-bent on traveling to destinations where most people would not consider. Whether it is trekking in the Himalayas, diving with the World's largest fish, or hanging out in one of the seediest towns in Asia, the quest for adventure continues. Thimphu, Bhutan, Nagarkot, Nepal, and Pattaya, Thailand, are not household names, but that's the beauty of it all, to go where the general population do not venture. Saying that, soaking up the culture in Turkey's Istanbul, discovering the way of life in Myanmar's capital city, and going far away from it all to a sublime remote island in the Maldives, adds to a mixed bag cultural experiences. Explore how Malcolm deals with the physical and social challenges in far off distant lands in an effort to become educated and fulfilled. Both the paperback and ebook versions can be purchased from the usual booksellers and are detailed at www.malcolmjteasdale.com.
