Such is life in the tropics

This is the story about a guy in his twenties who was looking to break out of the repetitive routine, and acted upon this by moving to Europe and sought out irresponsible pleasures.  It was inspired by his own personal experiences while traveling recklessly with all sorts of characters. He eventually travels to Central and South America, where he became immersed in these cultures while learning the languages, and making long lasting bonds with the local people.  Finally he returns to the USA, but not without the allure he acquired while on his never ending adventure, and the knowledge that he had become a man of the world who had lived his dream.  This is the fascinating story about everything that happened in between on the journey.
