This is not literature!
It would rather navel-gazing!
This gentleman is consumerism of countries visited enjoying empathy of people met,
himself giving nothing or so little!
It boasts of never wanting to pay for transportation and living on a dollar a day: OK, if everyone did the same thing ...
It is also possible to "find" of countries and cultures during humanitarian missions for example!
As much I had been "transported" to reading the three volumes of the "long march" of Bernard OLLIVIER: writing quality, human qualities, etc ... So, I think this book is of no interest except to flatter the ego of André Brugiroux
