Hellholes of the World: A Love Story

Hellholes of the World compiles writings over three decades of travel until the author's untimely death - some published in magazines, others finally landing on the printed page. Part memoir, part travelogue, part reportage, it voyages from Singapore in the 1980s to tanzania in the 2010s, taking in the familiar (Hamilton, Phoenix, Roterdam) and the still exotic (Amazonas, Belarus, Rwanda). Short 'postcards' from some choise hellholes intersperse chapters that detail and dissect the unglamorous realities of long-term travel, and include unvarnished reflections on his New Zealand homeland and his adopted home of Finland
