About the Author

Ben Batchelder has traveled some of the world's more remote roads.

Nothing in his background, from a degree in Visual & Environmental Studies at Harvard to an MBA from Wharton, adequately prepared him for the experiences. Yet he persists, for through such journeys life unfolds. Having written of two previously, he currently is a mountain man in Brazil who comes down to the sea at Miami Beach, Florida.

His last published work, "To Belém & Back," received a starred review from Publishers Weekly.
