From The Publisher

It is a pleasure to announce the publication of Curious Companions by Jake Bullough.

Written with passion, honesty and open-mindedness, this book gives the genre of travel writing wider and more dynamic boundaries. For a first attempt, this is definitely an unusual feat because of its apparent clarity, maturity and consistency in style. The narrative is fresh with experiences of the road, throbbing with the fever of discovery.

What gives this work other dimensions that reach far beyond merely the sights, sounds, smells and feelings of places the writer passed through or the people he met and the encounters that engrossed him are his own discoveries, realizations and epiphanies as well as reflections on issues that concern all of us today. These multiple layers give the book a richness that is rewarding.

Curious Companions may have been written by an Irishman but its content traverses borders and touches the journeyman that lies in each one of us.
