They would follow the former president's wake down five-hundred miles of extreme whitewater into the dark heart of the Amazon.

Tides and Timezones

Reece Davis

Between the pull of the tides and the drift of the clock lies the rhythm of a traveler’s life. 
In Tides and Timezones, acclaimed travel writer Reece Davis explores how constant movement changes not only where we are — but who we become. From sleepless nights beneath foreign skies to quiet dawns spent in transit, Davis reflects on how time stretches and bends across continents, and how memory anchors us when everything else is in motion. 
Through poignant stories, vivid landscapes, and moments of stillness amid the rush, Davis examines what it means to carry fragments of the world within us — and how, over time, travel becomes less about escape and more about return. 
Elegant, meditative, and profoundly human, Tides and Timezones is a love letter to the fleeting, timeless art of wandering.
