"When you travel, things go wrong."

That might not sound like uplifting advice, but in this collection of stories about mishaps in faraway places, award winning humorist Dave Fox proves otherwise.

At age eight, Dave nearly starts a riot in Northern Africa. As a nerdy teenager, he smuggles illegal radio equipment into Finland on his way to spending a year in Norway. In his college days, he discovers it is not wise to seek inner peace inside a volcano. A few years later, he does something exceptionally reckless. He becomes a professional tour guide.

Dave travels knowing that when things go wrong, they might not seem funny at the time, but the resulting stories are worth the chaos. Winner of the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Book Proposal Contest, Getting Lost: Mishaps of an Accidental Nomad is now available in a new-and-improved, bovine-friendly second edition! (A few copies of the first edition are still available on this website too.)

"Dave Fox's writing is hilarious. It's rare to find a person who has such unique stories to tell and can write about them to boot."
