One Life, One Chance, the Chronicles of Our Adventure-Cation -Part 1 of 2 (Paperback)

Everybody dies, but not everybody lives... What do you want to do before you die? This is the incredibly true story of five small town guys, with little money, leaving their families, friends, jobs; their lives behind for an exodus around the world. With backpacks full of clothes, camping gear, hammocks, and cameras, the guys take off from Tampa, Florida and head west for New Zealand, their only planned destination. They set out not to travel, but to live. Their goal: keep traveling west until it takes them around the world and finally back home with no money left in their pockets. In the midst of no real set plans and minimal funds, the guys are forced to live cheap and expect the unexpected day to day. Seeing the world was their dream and whether they left everything they knew and loved to find themselves emotionally and spiritually, or to just find girls, parties, surf and crazy adventures, they would find it all...and then some.
