Planes, Trains, Taxis and Tuk Tuks Malcolm Teasdale

Malcolm Teasdale has spent a ridiculous amount of time on planes, trains, taxis and various types of tuk tuks, just to get far away from the ordinary and mundane. After a vain attempt at explaining why he is addicted to travel and passing those words of wisdom onto the reader, he ventures to places afar for more escapades and challenges. Various rich cultural adventures abound where he surrounds himself with 100's of sharks in the deep waters around Micronesia; camps in the Mongolian wilderness and hangs out with nomads, vultures and eagles; socializes in areas of seediness and questionable merit in Thailand and the Philippines; becomes absorbed into the spiritual atmosphere of Tibet; kayaks along a bat infested underground river in Palawan in darkness; then chills out on the World's greatest beach just to ease back into normality.
