A travelogue with a personal touch relating day to day experiences of the author in essay form. The author tells of adventures in Mongolia and Siberia with smugglers on the train, visits nomads in the Gobi, Lake Baikal in Siberia, the Great Wall of China, and Forbidden City. He visits the Irish and backpacks in Tuscany; cruises across the Atlantic to visit England; explores the regions of France; and satisfies his curiosity about the Lapland provinces of Finland, Norway, and Sweden. In the developing countries of southeastern Europe, he sees Gypies, horse-drawn carts alongside automobiles, and Vlad's Castle in Transylvania; takes in the beautiful scenery of the Dalmatian Coast; visits Bosnia, with its bullet holes in buildings. "Between latitudes" from the top of Europe and the Arctic Circle to the bottom of South America, he visits the Chilean fjords and sails around Cape Horn and hikes along Iguazu Falls.
