A pre-digital odyssey across five continents, A Continental Affliction is an adventure travel memoir spanning South America, Oceania, Africa, Europe, and North America — told with wit, wonder, and the shock of navigating the world on $10 a day with only paper maps, a backpack, and a bicycle.

The author will be with us in person to share insights and reflections on his work. The event is free with limited seating. RSVP here!
