About this ebook
Russell Sunshine worked for 40 years in over 40 countries, as an independent policy adviser to international organizations and foreign governments. His long-term residencies included India, Tanzania, China, Laos, Kazakhstan, Italy and Sri Lanka.
Russell's travel memoir, Far & Away: True Tales from an International Life, captures highlights of this exceptional career:
*Earning the trust of foreign leaders;
*Traveling to remote, exotic destinations;
*Living within layered cultures.
These are true tales, not fiction. Some are scary, others rollicking, many moving and memorable. Far & Away brings close and accessible a global life that all of us can imagine but very few have the opportunity to experience. Climb aboard the magic carpet. This is one ride you won't want to miss.
