The veteran world traveler who practically invented the gay travel industry and whose first book of travel tales received overwhelming praise, now gives you another picturesque romp through some of the world's most exotic and barely discovered destinations, from a South African farm to permissive Tangier to Papua New Guinea before tourists arrived there; from Marlon Brando's private island near Tahiti to the frozen Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada; from hedonist Mykonos to the Edinburgh Festival to a remote village in Mexico; to Venice, along the Amazon and the Nile and aboard the famed Orient Express, meeting outrageous (and some famous) characters along the way and sharing his astonishing (and occasionally erotic) adventures with the reader.

Praise from the distinguised author and world traveler, Jan Morris:
"Hanns Ebensten's new book is more than just sparkling entertainment. It is a wide-ranging account of one of the world's loneliest inhabited places, Easter Island in the Pacific - part evocation, part scholarly narrative. Ebensten first went to the island more than 70 years ago, and has been back there annually since 1967. He describes it out of his own long experience and also introduces us to its ever-surprising inhabitants and to the succession of foreigners who have for nearly three centuries explored, excavated, exploited, and filmed it, and admired its huge stone figures and its handsome men. It is a unique literary distillation of a marvelous place."

"Hanns Ebensten, a pioneer in the field of gay group travel, has hiked across deserts, hacked his way through jungles, and climbed mountains for nearly seventy years in the quest of the ultimate adventure. Traversing the globe from Easter Island to Turkey, from Vilcabamba to the Grand Canyon, Ebensten's numerous adventures include nightclubbing with Marlene Dietrich in Gay Paree, lolling in thatched huts with the primitive Cuna Indians on the San Blas Islands, off the coast of Panama, and dressing up with star
Casey Donovan in the robes of the last empress of China in Beijing's Summer Palace. This enchanting, exotic, hilarious collection of true stories from his lifetime one-of-a-kind trips is delightful armchair travel, as well as a fascinating autobiography of a gay trailblazer. "Hanns Ebensten has visited places Somerset Maugham never dreamed of, been in situations that would have made Oscar Wilde and Noel Coward blanch, and his adventures would cause T. E. Lawrence to tingle with anticipation...a classic for all gay travelers." -OUR WORLD
