Thirty years ago Norm took a trip to New Zealand; a trip that would change is life, a trip that unlocked his latent wanderlust. That first trip and his adventures with a witch, leads to a life of planning his next adventure and travels to see what is around the next bend in life's road. Over the years Norm and his backpack have travel throughout the world. Many of his trips have been solo and other with one or both of his sons. Travel has a way of heightening you awareness both sensually and perhaps more importantly philosophically. This book recounts just a few of the adventures, experiences, and introspection this 40 year sojourn has yielded and insights to share with others.
