About the Book

I left Canada in 1953 to work for the Red Cross in the Far East for the Canadian Forces in Korea and Japan. After my tour of duty I went to Australia, where I worked and hitchhiked to the Outback. On my way to South Africa I visited the Dutch West Indies, Borneo, Thailand, Singapore, Burma, and India. I spent two months traveling by bus and train in India, three weeks of which were in Kashmir. Once I arrived in Africa I worked in Durban and hitchhiked around South Africa and neighboring countries. I left for England in 1958 and I returned home to Quebec City in the fall of that year.
