6It started with a map. Blank spaces, uncharted waters, the unknown both overwhelming and beckoning at once. A growing desire for adventure usurps a lifetime of preparation for an ideal path through life. Trading the comfort and security of his well-loved life in Los Angeles, a young man abandons many of his earthly possessions and takes a sharp left turn from his current track to move to the other side of the world to live and work in Northern Thailand. Why did he decide to go? What did he experience while he was there? Where did he go next? When will he return home?

#narwahl goes beyond just the anecdotes of his journey and the levity he tries to bring to every situation, it explores the differences in the many cultures experienced by the author on his trek through cultures he has never truly appreciated nor been exposed to. How we maintain dignity and the way we show respect, how we reconcile individuality versus societal responsibility and the way we balance family and tradition with our daily lives, how we choose to celebrate our triumphs and the way we comfort each other in our sadness, how we learn from one another and the way we exhibit essential human kindness - join the author as he attempts to reconcile his purely Western upbringing with the nuances of being abroad.
Readers interested in travelling to other countries, those with a similar desire to see more of the tangible world, and anyone with a greater curiosity for what lies beyond their own horizon will enjoy the humor and essential humanity examined within.
