520    The author, a travel writer and actor, delivers a memoir 
       about how travel helped him become the man he wanted to be,
       helping him overcome life-long fears and confront his 
       resistance to commitment. From time immemorial, travel has
       been a pursuit of passion, from adventurers of old seeking
       gold or new lands, to today's spiritual and pleasure 
       seekers who follow in the footsteps of Elizabeth Gilbert. 
       Some see travel as a form of light-hearted escapism while 
       others believe it has the power to open your mind, forcing
       you to confront your demons, and discover your true self. 
       The author belongs to this second category of traveler. 
       His memoir follows his excursions to Patagonia, the Amazon,
       Costa Rica, Baltimore, Vienna, Kilimanjaro, Dublin, and 
       beyond. He uses his wanderlust to examine his motives and 
       desires, and explore his ambivalence about commitment. He 
       ponders his personal life, his acting career, and his 
       impulse to leave home, all building toward one of the most
       significant moments of his life: his wedding day. His 
       message about the transformative power of travel is 
       universal, and his exploration of the nature and passion 
       of relationships, both fleeting and enduring, strikes a 
       chord with every man and woman who has ever wondered at 
       the vicissitudes of the human heart
