Around the World on a Dollar a Day

This is a true description of a young man’s 61,000 mile globetrotting world adventure, hitchhiking through 49 countries with a rucksack on his back and $364 in his pocket. He zigzagged his way through Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Asia, and through the heart of Africa-Cairo to Capetown overland. How Dallas accomplished this journey, despite encounters with Masia natives, Communist border guards, a raging blizzard on Mt. Kilimanjaro, being stranded in Iran, having to eat raw peanuts for three days, being a legal stowaway on an ocean liner, and meeting Prime Minister Nehru and General Jimmie Doolittle, are related in this book. All this on a dollar a day!
