Perfect for you if...

You love real travel stories that prioritise the weird encounters over the postcard moments.
You're curious about how ordinary people actually live in places you'll probably never visit.
You enjoy episodic narratives you can dip in and out of without committing to a linear plot.

Maybe not for you if...

You want practical travel advice or destination guides; this is anecdotes, not itineraries.
You prefer polished memoirs with a singular narrative arc rather than loosely connected short pieces.
You're looking for deeply introspective writing; these are funny surface-level encounters.

About this book

This collection of travel stories follows Matthias Drawe as he documents experiences across the globe. He celebrates Christmas in Rio, witnesses conflict in Haiti, and learns about Inuit whale hunting in Alaska. He takes on temporary work in Tokyo, encounters police in Quito, and investigates Jamaican attitudes toward chicken pills. In Moscow, he has confrontations with the Russian mafia; in Sri Lanka, he explores the history of Buddha's tooth; and in Cairo, he encounters local legends about a pharaoh's curse. Drawe is a freelance journalist whose travel narratives include both commissioned pieces for public radio and stories that emerged from personal curiosity and unexpected coincidences. The collection presents encounters with people from various locations around the world.
