Gypsy on a Jet

22 Countries in 38 Months!_____ Senior citizen Jim Sullivan, aka "The Wanderer," spent three years traveling and working through­out Africa (from January 2001 to February 2004), where he visited 22 countries while existing on an extremely limited budget. His mode of travel consisted of whatever was available (broken-down buses, ships that should have been junked years prior, backs of motor-bikes, and just plain backpacking). A man of wit and perception, he brings to life the people of Africa, the wide gaps between poverty and wealth, and gives vivid descriptions of cities, jungles and wild animals he viewed on his great adventure. _____Sullivan is a retired U.S. Army major, who specialized in Latin America while in the military. Prior to going to Africa he had visited the other six continents and plans to return to the Dark Continent as soon as he finds an acceptable (he's 73 now) area to volunteer. He has 4 children and 11 grandchildren. He and his present wife Diane have been married for 46 years and he believes she will return his key to their home as soon as he agrees to settle down._____All profits from the sale of this book are being donated to charities.
