For years Len's friends have encouraged him to write his travel adventures for all to read. He is widely acknowledged as a 'great story-teller' and enjoys entertaining his friends with travel tales or delivering power-point presentations to select audiences.

Len's first overseas adventure was as part of a delegation of New Zealand University graduates to People's Republic of China in 1977 and he has been constantly traveling since then.

This book covers over 40 years of travel to over 35 countries. Len's aim is to entertain and inform the reader and bring laughter to otherwise stressful situations.
