Summary:
"From the author of a lot of emails and several Facebook posts, a laugh-out-loud, true story of how a quarter-life crisis led to adventure, freedom, and
love
on a tiny
island
in the
Pacific
. In his mid-twenties, Alex Sheshunoff had his own internet start-up and had made national news. But he was also burned-out.
So
he bought a one-way ticket to the
island
of Yap,
giving
up
everything
he was supposed to want in search of all the things he never knew he needed. Along the way, he answered some important questions and some less essential ones
too
, such as: 1. How much, per pound, should you expect to pay a priest to fly you to the outer islands of Yap? 2. If you could have
just
one movie on a remote
Pacific
island
, what would it definitely not be? 3. How do you blend fruity drinks without a blender? 4. Is a free one-hour class from Home Depot on 'flower box construction' sufficient training to
build
a house? While in the
Pacific
, Alex learned a lot. About making big choices and big changes. About the parts of
Paradise
that don't make it into the brochures. About the locals and expats he encountered, offended, and befriended. And, most of all, about focusing on what you actually care about. Now Alex shares his incredible story in a book that will surprise you, make you laugh, take you to such unforgettable islands as Angaur and Pig, and perhaps inspire you to find your own little place in the sun."--From publisher
