Recapturing Youth - John B. McMillan - Bog

A light-hearted and humorous travel memoir, this is the first in a series describing the author's experiences of travelling light around the world in his retirement. After the death of his wife, mixing with youthful backpackers taking gap years and learning from the indigenous people in the countries he visited, enabled him to see himself as others saw him - a view that helped him come to terms with a life alone, recapturing youth while trekking among mountains, in jungles, exploring underwater, and in both polar regions.
