<p>20something Dave in Portland spent 4 years substitute teaching. Fortunately for the rest of us, he kept a journal of his travails...and here it is. 'Personal' writing at its finest and most poignant. "I brought this zine to work and couldn't stop laughing as I read it during lunch. I gave an issue to a co-worker, and soon he was cracking up, too, much to the probable consternation of the others at our table. Each issue is a journal of one semester's worth of days working at a variety of schools ranging from preschools to colleges. As you can imagine, there's alot to tell, and David manages to make it both hilarious and sad, without being disrespectful." - Newpages "If you've ever wondered what goes on in this environment, read this. Taking teenagers to the bathroom, dealing with a screaming autistic boy, and doing art projects for students who are asleep in their wheelchairs are all in a day's work. On Subbing gives a vivid picture of an educational setting most of us know little about, and it's quite sobering." - Xerography Debt</p>

A student of Loyola University in Rome, Italy, Dave was encouraged to travel over Christmas break.He took the suggestion far too seriously, while at the same time maintaining a carefree attitude borne of youth and naiveté, and proceeded to backpack more than a quarter of the way around the earth from Rome to Kathmandu, Nepal.This light-hearted travel memoir details backbreaking visits to Turkish bathhouses, a severe case of "New Delhi belly," bus breakdowns and broken backpacks, and more mishaps and marvelous experiences uncommon to most Americans at that time.Join Dave as he recounts his unforgettable stories of traveling through one of the world's most intriguing regions.
