An unlikely story of unusual observations that will help you take your life into your own hands. This book shares hard lessons learned, bad habits picked up, & places lived in. It’s full of unusual observations about life, travel, culture, growing up, finding oneself, and so much more. Get comfortable being uncomfortable, and prepare to start thinking differently about this little thing called life while circumnavigating North America and beyond over a whirlwind year living as a nomad. In spur-of-the-moment & journal-like reflection, Notes from the Grand Union Hotel is more than a travel memoir, it's a meditation on belonging, growing up, purpose, culture, and living with intention. It's perfect for readers who enjoy the likes of Rolf Potts, Anthony Bourdain, Jack Kerouac, Jon Krakauer, and Mitch Albom. "If the path before you is clear, you're probably on someone else's." - Joseph Campbell.
