At 23, Brandon Wolfe experienced a wanderlust that led him on trips to Africa and to explore the continent with friends from different parts of the world. In Cold Beer and a Hot Dart, Brandon recounts his trips to different parts of Africa and his rich experience of diverse cultures and the beauty of nature. Join him as he leaves home to sit with backpackers playing cards and talking over cold beers. Follow Brandon as he recalls experiencing sex, drugs, and malaria in an addictive story that sees him chasing the thrill of adventure and barely surviving illness. Brandon is constantly surrounded by amazing company, whether he's making new friends or reconnecting with old ones. Before he turned 29, he had lived through an adventure many can only dream of experiencing in a lifetime. Prepare to be wowed by his amazing story.
After reading about Brandon's brave acts in his travel exploits and various uncomfortable situations, my excuses for not traveling suddenly seem irrelevant. Picture being circled by baboons with nothing but a pocketknife as a means of defense. Also, readers will explore the author's vivid descriptions and his thoughts on the interesting people around him. One such person is Lukas, who is described as "tall and slender, cynical, hard-headed, and with the mouth of a sailor." The memoir also offers intriguing facts about different places in Africa. Overall, Cold Beer and a Hot Dart is a remarkable opportunity to experience one man's dangerous and exhilarating adventures from the safety of your home and learn more about other cultures. It is a riveting, fast-paced trip that leaves you with a plethora of evocative experiences to remember, laugh at, and be inspired by.
