From the paradise beaches of the Caribbean to the rugged mountains of the Himalayas. And from the metropolises of the USA and Japan to the capitals of global basketball!

Nikos Papadogiannis puts aside the microphone and the pen and offers the reader the position of a companion in the travels of a lifetime through seventy-three vignettes, often unbelievable and always true stories.

The author's journeys to the four corners of the planet are infused with sea salt, mountain freshness, abundant emotion, and natural humor, with unexpected guest stars being several heroes of Greek (and global) sports, both old and less old.

The journey begins with a devastating hurricane in the Antilles and ends on a boat sailing towards the unknown, with intermediate stops on five continents, seven seas, sixty countries, three decades, dozens of surprises, and thousands of known or unknown faces.

The battle-hardened journalist dons the hat of the perpetual traveler, fills a small suitcase with the bare essentials, and boards the next flight without much concern for the destination.

From the airplane windows, Galis, Diamantidis, Jordan, and Magic Johnson wink at you. And if you're not interested in basketball, all the better. Nikos talks about sports only during work hours and never when he's off duty.
