Places you don't go

How far can the desire to wander and discover take a person? How can you avoid being blindsided by disaster and deal with culture shock? What is it really like to travel alone? These are the kinds of thoughts that usually run through my head when I spend a long time on sufficiently peculiar paths. However, besides my musings, the book is primarily filled with lots of amusing stories from remote mountain valleys or forgotten alleys—in short, from places people don't usually go, but where the most remarkable beauties and oddities of our world await.
