Drifting On a Headwind is a captivating chronicle of a young man’s impulsive journey. Setting out one morning in a rickety car with a few hundred dollars in his pocket, he is drawn from one country to another from Mexico through Central America to Asia to Africa and beyond. His perilous adventures occur on land, in the air, and under the sea.

Dauntless, he faces the dangers of guerilla warfare on two continents, an airplane crash in the jungle, the manipulations of cagey smugglers, and near-death encounters with predators of all kinds. He survives by his wits and his unfailing desire to press on and see what else life holds for him.
