    Jim Hendrickson takes us on his fifth trip around the world. He visits the Philippine islands of Luzon and Palawan; tours Taipei, the capital of Taiwan; experiences South Korea’s capital Seoul, the Demilitarized Zone, and stays in a Buddhist temple; enjoys a homestay in Osaka, Japan; relates daily life in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia; embellishes what he loves about Germany; describes the beautiful Faroe Islands of Denmark; sails completely around Spitsbergen, Norway; ventures on a two-week trip along the Ring Road in Iceland; explores the west coast of Greenland; and ends this amazing world journey by recounting a 17-day cruise through the Northwest Passage in Arctic Canada.
    Throughout the book Hendrickson describes the many people he meets, and shares his feelings of joy, worry, excitement, wonder, anger, frustration, and living to the fullest wherever he goes. Intrepid adventurers as well as armchair travelers will enjoy these personal accounts.
