Great fun to read!

I LOVE humorous travel books but they are far and few between. I bought this book on sale and was pleasantly surprised. I laughed my way through the whole book. I will be sure to pick up anything else from him now!

Awesome!!!!!!!

I can not say enough about this book. I absolutely loved it. I am a Geography teacher and I am ordering a class set for my classroom. I think my students will fall in love with this book the same way I did. You should buy this book without even thinking twice. You will laugh and learn so much about the world from first hand experience. Enjoy and BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!

Laughed my butt off

I bought this book at an airport bookstore before a fight from Miami to Paris. Unfortunately for the passengers seated near me, I laughed out loud all the way across the Atlantic. And my laughter is kind of obnoxious, or so my friends say. Some of the stories were so funny I almost wet my pants. Thanks, Hester, for making my flight more enjoyable.

Very fun read

A very entertaining travel essay, showing how accessible many areas of the world are to if you willing to take that first leap. Definatly don't miss his story on the topless-scrabble playing Australian seductress.

A magical, hilarious romp around the world!

Rarely have I come across a travel memoir that transports me the way Adventures of a Continental Drifter has. With wit and laugh-out-loud humor, the author not only brings to life some of the most exotic places in the world. He takes you along with him as if you are a vicarious sidekick, stumbling and chuckling along the way. I loved this book. It made me consider quitting my job and traveling the world like Hester did. But then I came to my senses.
