Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Only Cash Peters would go on such an absurd adventure and capture it so winningly. Beautiful language, great humor."
--Phil Doran, author of "The Reluctant Tuscan"
"In one epic, horrifying, funny lurch across the planet, Cash Peters manages to utterly trash the well-meaning efforts of generations of sensitive, sincere travelers. "Naked in Dangerous Places" is a running riot."
--Tony Cohan, author of "On Mexican Time" and "Mexican Days
"
"Great explorers possess bravery, a cast iron stomach and insatiable curiosity about what lies around the next bend. Cash Peters has none of these attributes. But he is very, very funny, and his misadventures around in exotic locales make for the best travel writing I have read in years."
--Peter Allison author of "Whatever You Do, Don't Run
"
"Like most travelers, but too few travel writers, Cash Peters understands that nightmares are twice as entertaining as dreams. Especially when they come true. Peters' iconoclastic charm unaccountably fails to seduce South Seas cannibals and Hollywood producers, but proves a winner in this sharp-witted recap of two years in the company of such exotic and dangerous creatures. Someone should make a TV show out of it."
--Chuck Thompson, author of "Smile When You're Lying"
"It takes a clever new hook to grab and maintain my attention when it comes to travel writing. "Naked in Dangerous Places" is fascinating, funny, and endearing."
--Doug Lansky, author of "There's No Toilet Paper...on the Road Less Traveled"

Reseña del editor:

Finally, after years as a struggling radio host, Cash Peters has been given his own TV adventure show on a big-time travel network. The idea is simple: “Let’s dump him in an unfamiliar culture in a faraway land with no money and no place to stay, and see what happens.”

Unfortunately, there is one major problem: Cash doesn’t want to go. Not only is he NOT the adventurous type, he is afraid of nearly everything and horribly allergic to the rest.

Bottom line: they’ve given the show to the wrong guy.

Naked in Dangerous Places is the story of one man’s efforts to remain sane in an insane world. Told with wit and shameless honesty, it documents a yearlong journey through exotic lands, from Kenya to Cambodia, Morocco to Dubai, as Cash drops in on fascinating cultures, eating, drinking, even sleeping in cow-dung huts with the locals, and eventually proving the truth of the old saying “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Though, to be honest, killing you is more likely.
