A Wayward Spirit

- The Extraordinary Life-changing Experiences of a Globetrotter

Bag om A Wayward Spirit

This is an unusual and entertaining travel book - with a message or two. The author has travelled extensively on business in Asia, Africa, South America and the Middle East and he relates his extraordinary experiences with page-turning descriptions. He worked for the British Tourist Authority, he established his own international education consultancy and his insightful narratives come from his continuing worldwide travel on behalf of a range of UK boarding schools, colleges and charities. His advice on education has been sought by Russian billionaires, Saudi sheikhs and members of the Thai royal family. He has been faced with life-threatening experiences in two continents and endured wrongful imprisonment in Greece. Along the way, he ventured into religious retreats, spiritual experiences in India and pilgrim walks in Spain - finding a new meaning to his life which led him to raise over £50,000 for charitable causes including a school for 'children from the dumps' in Cambodia. The descriptions of his 'enlightenment' are equally colourful and he is often critical of those who are 'religious but not spiritual'.
