In the early 1990's, a teacher from the Midwest takes an unplanned sabbatical, traveling to Europe in pursuit of romance and adventure.
The origin of the word "travel" comes from a Latin root meaning an instrument of torture.
I began this novella in 1996 whilst living abroad in Europe for over a decade. It is a fictionalized and embellished account of experiences in Amsterdam, Athens, Rome, Istanbul, England, and Spain.
Inspired by Bill Bryson's Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe, I have endeavored to paint a portrait of an American traveler who clumsily wends his way across several cultures, a comic vagabond at once gloomy and introspective like Edgar Allan Poe, and ridiculous like any American fraternity boy on spring break, with some Benny Hill and National Lampoon's European Vacation thrown in for good measure.
