Jamey Glasnovic's meandering journey to find solace in a chaotic world has already led him across three continents. Now, he finds himself in East Africa.
As an atypical adventurer, Jamey Glasnovic was never likely to cross the high Arctic in search of records or glory or attempt new and audacious routes up remote peaks with hopes of writing his name in the annals of mountaineering lore. Truth be told, a dive bar in Kathmandu or Dar es Salaam counts as a good day out for this laid-back adventure enthusiast. But, a profound belief in the power of landscape continues to motivate him. A sense of place and a desire to understand the connection all humans have to their surroundings are what compel him to explore foreign cultures and unfamiliar terrain.
In his third book, Everything Is Poa (poa means good in Swahili), Glasnovic commits to testing his physical limits beyond the comfort zone of the pub. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro went a long way in accomplishing that goal. But, it was the misadventures on his bicycle in Tanzania and Rwanda that helped define the journey. The warm and generous people he met along the way, along with the spectacular wildlife that is part of the African continent's allure, are what stole his heart in the end.
