"Roam is more than a travel memoir-it's an invitation to live fully, connect deeply, and discover the magic in every corner of the world. Guy Van Cleve's storytelling reminds us that adventure isn't just about the destinations, but also, how the journey transforms us. Inspiring, heartfelt, and unforgettable."
-Djuan Rivers, Former Vice President, Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World
"Roam is a masterful journey of adventure and self-discovery that will resonate with every aviator, sailor, and traveler exploring new horizons. Guy Van Cleve beautifully captures the spirit of pushing beyond limits, whether in the sky, at sea, or within ourselves. His story is a powerful reminder that true exploration isn't just about the places we go, but about who we become along the way. A must-read for anyone who believes the world is still meant to be explored."

"While living on the edge of nature and traditional notions of security, Guy Van Cleve has explored the world. Most importantly, he has tapped into the most sincere, benevolent aspects of human beings no matter where he lays his head down at night (or in the wee morning hours). This is such a rich collection of true stories, don't even think about stopping at one. From 'The Good Wife and the Alligator' and 'Snake Handling for Amateurs' to 'Chickens and Pigs on a Plane' and 'Volcanoes Over My Shoulder', what a read, what a life ride-portrayed in 19 magical treasures! Superb action-adventure without violence. The only storm is the never-ending passion to live life to the fullest."
--Elliott W. Wislar, CEO, Clearbrook, and Author of Voyage to Victory: Stories and Strategies for Resilience, Risk and Reward
"Roam is a beautifully written odyssey that carries the reader across oceans and into the soul of adventure. Guy Van Cleve reminds us that exploration is both an outer journey and an inner calling. From Rio de Janeiro to New York to every shore in between, this book speaks to the universal desire to wander, to learn, and to live with courage. And some of the stories are absolutely hilarious - open, read on a rainy day to let the sun in!"
--Claudia Cataldi, president, Brazilian Press Association of Electronic and Digital Media-RJ, director of communications and marketing, Governance Brazil Network, alumni, Brazilian War College
