Early Praise for Eat the Wind:
“Starting as a teenager who could afford only hitchhiking, Wake takes us on an improbable journey of high adventures and unusual encounters on four continents, all before smartphones changed the world of travel.”—Simon Calder, Travel Journalist & Broadcaster
“Captivating … Everything you could want in a travel memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews
“I recommend this book. Dan Wake is a keen observer, and his sense of humor wins.” —Tim Cahill, Founding editor of Outside magazine and author of Jaguars Ripped My Flesh
“Wake sweeps readers into a journey overflowing with rich culture, enchanting, landmarks, and once in a lifetime adventure.” —Booklife by Publishers Weekly
“Eat the Wind is a literary time capsule and a terrific read for anyone who travels—or has even just thought about it.”—Mark Orwoll, former international editor of Travel + Leisure, Lowell Thomas Travel Journalist of the Year (Silver Award) and author of Just One Little Hitch.
“Dan Wake’s charming travel memoir Eat the Wind recounts his globe-trotting adventures . . . he strikes a balance between entertainment and guidance . . . the spirited memoir lauds lifelong exploration and reflects on memorable cultural encounters.” —Foreword Clarion Reviews (4 stars)
“Dan Wake was doing “slow travel” long before the term was coined—opting for public transportation, staying in hostels or small inns, and always interacting with local residents. …Eat the Wind is a testament to the generosity and acceptance travelers can experience when they journey with a curious mind and an open heart.” —Elizabeth Harryman Lasley, former Travel Editor, Westways magazine
“Wake is a natural writer, evoking a bygone age of unpredictable and serendipitous travel. He is also a good traveller, journeying alone and ready to engage with the local people.” —Hilary Bradt, founder of Bradt Travel Guides
“Simply delightful … [This] rollicking good read … should be on the shelves of any library or reader interested in either armchair explorations or building foundations for their own journeys“ —Midwest Book Reviews
