A Murder of Touts

At the start of a new relationship, she asked a simple question. His naïve response resulted in a yearlong string of life-threatening experiences, massive spider encounters, unexpected hilarity, and...enlightenment. All in the search for love.

In the 1990's, for the first time in history, it was possible to simply strap on a backpack and circle the planet while still staying connected to people back home through the Internet. Through a string of nearly unbelievable experiences, this true story details how Chris and Paige Farrell slowly discover that their adventure was never actually about the crazy and dangerous things they were experiencing. It was about each other.

22-hour bus rides through the African bush, crossing the desolate Ionian Sea through a raging storm in the middle of the night, covertly navigating Syria during Operation Desert Fox's missile strikes, a SCUBA malfunction 80 feet underwater somewhere in the remote Andaman Sea, hepatitis-infected Patpong Road darts jettisoned at unsuspecting eyeballs, machete-wielding Indonesian bandits pursuing their next victims... The journey would be documented, but the destination was always uncertain.

In order to arrive somewhere new, you have to leave somewhere behind.
