Embark by Paul C Scholz

A YOUNG MAN'S DIRECTION IN LIFE CHANGES WHILE JOURNALING A SIX-MONTH TRAVEL ADVENTURE THROUGHOUT THE MEDITERRANIAN. FROM A CAREFREE COLLEGIATE LIFE OF DRUG DEALING AND REMAINING TRUE TO OTHER'S MISSIONS IN LIFE TO LIVING FOR HIMSELF. HE MUST SHED SOME OLD FRIENDS AND HABITS ALONG THE WAY, BUT A WHOLE NEW WORLD OPENS TO HIM. FROM TEXTBOOKS TO RICH CLASSIC NOVELS. FROM PICTURES OF WORLD REKNOWNED ART-WORK TO ACTUALLY SEEING THIS ART-WORK FOR HIMSELF. DEPENDENCY TO INDEPENDENCE. THE PURPOSE WAS TO BROADEN HIS BASE OF EXPERIENCES TO HELP CREATE MORE MEANING IN HIS LIFE AHEAD. HIS FAMILY AND COUNTRY OF ORIGIN ARE CRITICALLY EXAMINED THROUGH HIS LOG ENTRIES OF HIS TRAVELS AS HE REALIZED THE LIMITATIONS TO EACH. TRAVEL COMPANIONS REMAIN REFLECTIVE WITH HIM ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE FOR THE NEXT FIFTY YEARS.
