NOTES

This book is about five accounts of journeys filled with much humor and irony. They are five reports at a time in which travelers didn't have a digital camera with them able to contain thousands of pictures and not even a mobile phone with a lot of functions in order to solve any unforeseen event. The reader will plunge into an initiatory journey, explore purely adventurous landscapes and will remember an unprecedented historical event that happened at the same time as one of these travels. All these episodes happened at the end of the 20th century as we were starting to live a radical change leading to such an extreme use of technology which changed our way of travelling. While we were reaching this point, we kept looking at the map, there was no GPS and we called home from a phone booth. Get ready to relive all those feelings through these travels; after all, "travelling is worth the money", isn't it?
