Driving
to the End of the World
by Mark McMahon
Driving to the End of the World is the story of a dentist
who embarks on an extraordinary adventure. When his father died
in 1999, Mark came face-to-face with his own mortality. He sold
his successful dental practice to follow his dream of traveling
and taking pictures. He created a mission for himself— to
drive from Tucson, Arizona to Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego— the
end of the world. With little more than his truck, Baby Blue, and
a very loose plan, Mark took off. What was supposed to be six-month
trip turned into a four-year odyssey. He encountered spiritual healers
and thieves, ran after women and from police, lived with the Guaymi
Indians of Panama, explored pristine jungles, and cheated death
so many times it became a running joke. But as he moved closer to
his goal, the physical trip transcended into a spiritual awakening—
and he realized it was the journey, not the destination, his soul
was craving. Mark's example inspires you to follow your heart, ignite
the passion inside, and do whatever it takes to live your adventure.

A letter from the
author
Dear Friends,
Thanks for your interest in my book!
Even though it hasn’t been
printed yet, finishing the manuscript has given me a great boost! Now I'm going
through final editing and it's been a great experience. I've just recently put
together the galley copy, so it's almost ready to go to publication! I want
to share my excitement with you, and get the promotional ball rolling, so
I'm offering it at 25% off the cover price. You
pay only $14.95!
I'm
not going to lie to you— I really want you to buy my book!
Here is a brief excerpt to tease
you...
|
There I was, with
two tourists from Holland and a local guide, trekking through a
dense and intense rainforest. After nine hours on the trail, our
packs weighed heavily on our shoulders. Sunlight was fading quickly
and we were still miles from our destination. Our guide looked scared.
That was not a good sign. The sounds from the surrounding vegetation
began changing as the various creatures of the night awoke. As darkness
slowly took over I began to feel as if the jungle was closing in
on us, trapping us. Not for the first time my brain turned to the
thoughts that had plagued me at times throughout my adventures,
“What the hell am I doing? I could die out here!” |
