Extraordinarily Rich Memories Of My First Time In

Three years, half a million miles of travel across the world, a huge number of first time visits, and a vast collection of new experiences and memories...This is the unique focus of Extraordinarily Rich Memories Of My First Time In....by Maurice Samuel. In it, he shares these personal experiences, that he wrote contemporaneously as emails to friends between 2007-2010. From playing the Pied Piper in Mumbai, swimming with sea lions in the Galapagos, being stopped by police on his way to Guantanamo, bathing at night in the Dead Sea, partying at Christmas in hyper-exclusive Mustique, horseback riding in the wilds of Cotopaxi volcano, whitewater rafting and zip-lining in Costa Rica, the ups and downs of Carnaval in Santa Cruz...and many, many more. Whilst the book’s focus is this period, he brings it up to date, with his more recent experiences from travels to places like Kazakhstan, where he is constantly asked for selfies, his struggles to leave Uzbekistan, and taking a two week cruise through South East Asia without knowing where it’s going from day to day. The book is richly illustrated with his personal photographs and videos.
