About this ebook
Life is an adventure...if you choose to make it so.
These are the words Ken Horsfall has chosen to live his life by. From the jungles of Papua New Guinea to the UN offices of Cambodia, Ken has lived a life of extraordinary adventure. In this book, he shares stories of growing up in post-war poverty, working with a scoundrel who later became a New Zealand Member of Parliament, trying to combat UN and NGO corruption, climbing active volcanoes, diving on Japanese WWII shipwrecks, being attacked by tribal warriors, and running a hotel in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam.
This is the story of a man who really did take the road less travelled. Anyone trying to build up the courage to live an extraordinary life of their own need look no further for inspiration.
If he can do it, so can you!

He has a dislike for consultants (don’t mention that word to him), and a dislike for disrespectful people.He does sometimes worry about his teenage life and the trouble it caused to many people.
