When William Thomas headed out on the highway, he was looking for adventure. He hadn't planned on the hash cookies, the fire in the rental car or the rattlesnakes. He hates rattlesnakes. And he sure didn't plan on getting thrown out of a Cuban cemetery. This is his story of a road rarely taken - and with good reason! From the best-selling author of The Dog Rules (Damn Near Everything!) comes a hilarious and sometimes helpful guide to seeing the world from the side of the road.

Thomas takes you on his odyssey from tourist to traveller, from tramping around Europe in the '70s to romps in sun-drenched Florida and the Caribbean, and finally to adventures and misadventures in his favorite travel destination - Portugal.

Full of travel tips and the most unlikely chronicles of true travel disasters, Never Hitchhike on the Road Less Travelled proves you don't have to join the Eco-Challenge to find excitement on the road. Join William Thomas' unconventional journey and then ask yourself this question - why does he do it? Well, the answer might be found in his previous book Guys - Not Real Bright and Damn Proud of It!

For the veteran backpacker or the armchair traveller William Thomas' Never Hitchhike on the Road Less Travelled will show you the world from a brand new perspective, and on your next vacation, don't leave home without it! Remember, this guy wasn't allowed to carry sharp objects even before 9/11.

William Thomas is a nationally syndicated humour and travel columnist and the author of seven books, including The Dog Rules Damn Near Everything (Damn Near Everything!), Margaret and Me, and Guys - Not Real Bright and Damn Proud of It.
