I approached this book expecting to read the usual travel log type of narrative, but was pleasantly surprised to find a very personal and in depth series of anecdotes. The extensive travels of the author provide a wonderful, although often brief look at various cultures. I did not read this book in the conventional way. I found myself looking up different areas that grabbed my interest and reading the stories in no particular order.I enjoyed the read. It was very friendly and obviously inspired by the travels. The author shows good writing skills for his first book and gives the reader some wonderful stories. I highly recommend this book. It's an easy read and very enjoyable. This book is collection of short stories about the author's travels around the world. I enjoyed this very much, it was fun learning about different countries and cultures and how different they're lives are over there, I even found myself checking out some of the places he visited on google, that must have been a wonderful experience. We also get to know the author, seems like a good guy with a good sense of humor who can makes friends easily everywhere he goes. I found myself laughing at some of the stories, not everything went according to plan. A Casual Traveler takes us on the author's three year journey in snippets. We are taken to different parts of the world even motorcycle trips in the USA and Canada as we see the world through his eyes and the different cultures. We find ourselves feeling like we are on this journey with him and experiencing these adventures with him. We are never sure who we will meet nor what where are headed. It makes us want to explore the world we live in even if it just our own neighbourhood.
