To Find: The Search for Meaning in Life on the Gringo Trail
The year is 1980. Having recently completed a doctoral degree, J. R. Klein, aka Alex Moreau, is totally burned out. Life is dull, routine, monotonous. On a whim, he sets out with photographer friend Stefan Kale on a trek through Mexico and Central America with a mere four hundred and ninety-five dollars in his pocket. To Find is a wild adventure across raw deserts, up into remote mountain villages, out onto pristine islands, and deep into tropical rain forests. Relegated to the most basic forms of transportation - peasant buses, dilapidated trains, and more often than not using their thumbs to snag a ride - they live a vagabond existence devoid of plans, destinations, and schedules. Above all, To Find is an excursion of the soul. It is a kaleidoscope of exhilarating experiences that includes mystical encounters with the lost civilization of the Maya, and a rich cast of characters that flows endlessly across the pages. Klein delivers an unforgettable odyssey of self-discovery in the tradition of Jack Kerouac's On the Road and Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild.
