Near-death experiences while surfing, hiking with diarrhea, and scooter accidents are just a few of the negative experiences Rafael had during his trip. In a year and a half he traveled to 13 different countries and had to deal with all sorts of challenges.

In 17 chapters that are sure to induce JOMO (Joy of Missing Out), the author candidly describes the dark sides of travel. These true stories are funny, interesting, and educational as well – at least in hindsight.
