Bali Belly - Bali Raw

Malcolm Scott

Sinossi

Bali Belly is the Bali survival guide you need to read if you are thinking of living on or holidaying in Bali
By the time I finished my first two books Bali Raw and Bali Undercover I thought I had drained the well and there wasn't much left to write about Bali. I settled on the island and I spent most of my time writing screenplay's and researching my third book based in Cambodia.
Then one day as I was staring out my office window watching the motorcycles zoom past in a bleating chorus of tooting horns. I realized that Bali is never stagnant or still and that she is continuously changing and evolving. It was at that moment I felt I had missed something when I wrote the first two books in the series.
I started on Bali Belly because I grasped that although I had shared my experiences in my first books I had never really explained the best way to survive living in Bali. This book attempts that and it also shares more of the events I experienced when I lived in the seedy heart of both Kuta and Seminyak for close to a decade.
For those of you thinking of spending a whopping $4.99 on the Bali Belly survival guide I should also warn, (like I did with Bali Raw and Bali Undercover), that this book may not be for you. Bali Belly is not always politically correct and it does contain stories involving pubs, nightclubs, prostitution , dodgy expats and the general seedier side of Bali life.
Bali has its tame area's and there will be a few latte experts slurping coffee in Canggu who will scoff and pontificate on how you don't need a survival guide to live in Bali. But in Bali Belly I discuss the Sodom and Gomorrah side of the tourist island that these buffed and blasé expats try their best to avoid.
You would be wise to save your money if this style of writing offends you or hearing the truth about what happens on the island of Bali is beyond your two week holiday experience. If you feel that only the glossy magazine type Bali where everyone does yoga and visits temples should be reported, then you should walk away happy in the knowledge that your reality remains untarnished.
Conversely, and for those of you that want to experience the gritty side of Bali. And for those who want to read a few tips tips and stories on how to survive living there. Welcome aboard I'm glad to have you along for the ride.
Best Regards
Malcolm Scott

Walking the Americas

Levison Wood

Levison Wood's famous walking expeditions have taken him from the length of the Nile River to the peaks of the Himalayas, and in Walking the Americas, Wood chronicles his latest exhilarating adventure: a  1,800-mile trek across the spine of the Americas, through eight countries, from Mexico to Colombia. 
Beginning in the Yucatán, Wood's journey takes him from sleepy barrios to glamorous cities to ancient Mayan ruins lying unexcavated in the wilderness. Wood encounters indigenous tribes in Mexico, revolutionaries in a Nicaraguan refugee camp, fellow explorers, and migrants heading toward the United States. The relationships he forges along the way are at the heart of his travels—and the personal histories, cultures, and popular legends he discovers paint a riveting history of Mexico and Central America. While contending with the region's natural obstacles like quicksand, flashfloods, and dangerous wildlife, he also witnesses the surreal beauty of local landscapes, from cascading waterfalls and sunny beaches to the spectacular ridgelines of the Honduran highlands. Finally, Wood attempts to cross one of the world's most impenetrable borders: the Darién Gap route from Panama into South America, a notorious smuggling passage and the wildest jungle he has ever navigated.

Oh Florida! - How America's...

Craig Pittman

Oh, Florida! To some people, it's a paradise. To others, it's a punch line. As Oh, Florida! shows, it's both of these and, more important, it's a Petri dish, producing trends that end up influencing the rest of the country. Without Florida there would be no NASCAR, no Bettie Page pinups, no Glenn Beck radio rants, no USA Today, no "Stand Your Ground," . . . you get the idea.To outsiders, Florida seems baffling. It's a state where the voters went for Barack Obama twice, yet elected a Tea Party candidate as governor. Florida is touted as a carefree paradise, yet it's also known for its perils-alligators, sinkholes, pythons, hurricanes, and sharks, to name a few. It attracts 90 million visitors a year, some drawn by its impressive natural beauty, others bewitched by its manmade fantasies.Oh, Florida! explores those contradictions and shows how they fit together to make this the most interesting state. It is the first book to explore the reasons why Florida is so wild and weird-and why that's okay. Florida couldn't be Florida without that sense of the unpredictable, unexpected, and unusual lurking behind every palm tree. But there is far more to Florida than its sideshow freakiness.

Pearl Howie

From the Amazon Best Selling author of "Japan Is Very Wonderful," the "Camino de la Luna" series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides.I used to get extremely burnt out and couldn’t even handle booking a hotel or flight when I did have time off. I thought “Wouldn’t it be awesome if someone would write a guide that gave you one perfect escape; the hotel, spa, flight and restaurant.” So that’s what I did.My new series of mini-guides, although part of a much longer journey, are specifically designed to give you the precise information, the recipe you need to have the adventure – without getting bogged down with too many choices or details. Although there are three places to stay in this guide, I had to include them all as each stay was a trip of a lifetime.Johannesburg is a challenging place to visit; you need to be wise when choosing where to stay, where to go and how to travel. In this book I hope I have given anyone the resources to go there safely. (And do check out the sister guide to Durban if you want to have a longer trip in South Africa.)"You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures.”"I finally feel like I'm really living, not just surviving."“I’ve just booked my first holiday in 13 years!”"To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that. Don't doubt that you are capable of helping others... in terms of other of life's difficulties... What an adventure!" Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway"
