A raw testimony and removing

From home to go around the world ... It is a dream that many sattachent to realize and transmit via a blog or a book. But the dream of Jeremy Marie, this is to do hitchhiking, without paying long distance transport. Caprice young Western? No, he argues, an opportunity to see the world outside of the commercial transaction that perverts trade.

First of heading towards the east, he met Bulgaria Ludovic Hubler (The World in stop: Five years at the school of life) that terminates its own journey of five years hitchhiking and who advised him to go back the other way to enjoy favorable winds. To cross lAtlantique, Jeremy Marie First of leave to the south, becoming the first globestoppeur tourdumondiste to skirt the East African coast. He then heads to North America, postponing the complex crossing the jungle of Darien. In the snow in Canada, with the Yankees or the more progressive states, he demonstrated patience, perseverance even dentêtement for this project according to its rules and its own ethics. After the tour of South America, this is the vastness of the Pacific it faces away lOcéanie. By air cargo-stop then, he rallies China before sempêtrer in the administrative quagmire of Central Asia and the loop in Caen, its starting point.

This is not a journey without money but a simple trip where lon sees scroll countries like city passes of a boulevard to another, with the difference that laventurier learns several languages ​​in passing: lespagnol, Brazilian Portuguese, Bahasa Indonesia A journey where lon sometimes goes deep but where too often lon remains on the surface because time and pages scroll
Javais mixed expectations facing this book because I have lavouer, I already knew most of the story. Turn the stop world, this is not an easy task, no, it's a total commitment for five years, five months and five days. The story of Jeremy Marie is removing and transparent I talked to have lived appreciate him of sexual harassment hitchhiking, something rare in male narratives and how the fairer sex tickling his senses. Auto-stopper is not made of wood, evidenced by his gentle Balinese encounter nen I say no more to this story, it will read it!

The downside, however, half of the story: Chapters 13 and 14 mont seemed chaotic, disorganized, poorly tied and devoid of emotional vibration. Fortunately, that flame returns in the following chapters, in my opinion a little less lively indeed, but it is moved again. Moreover, lanthropologue in me was disappointed every description physionomiste essentialist different "ethnic groups" met at the expense dimpressions deeper or wise analysis from the experience of the traveler.

I liked his story in rage and enthusiasm, but that he loved jaurais be told with more demotion. Often terse, telegraphic sentences and quasi sprinkled here and there with linguistic clichés, style suit more casual reader hungry for true stories and biographies gourmet gourmands quaux travel stories, dissatisfied that they will before his periodic "Jai eaten, I have made my hair cut there and cétait well. "A unique road-book, very different from that laid by Ludovic Hubler there has been three years, and of course required reading for future world-hikers leaving too circonvoluer the world.
