Beschreibung

Paddle Faster! Something is Following Your Canoe... Have you ever felt like the Universe is doubled over laughing at you? Like you're the butt of some great cosmic joke? Fear not! You are not alone. In this long-awaited sequel to Mugged by a Moose, we hope you'll find a feeling of kinship with our twenty-five free-spirited wanderers as they relate some of their craziest, wackiest, funniest and most inspiring tales of travel from the far side of beyond. * Investigate a Vancouver Island outhouse with youth trip leader Zak Cross to figure out what's been scaring his campers away. * Join Brent Curry on an epic bicycle journey from Dawson City, Yukon to the Arctic Ocean-in the middle of winter. * Cringe as Ken Penland encounters a persnickety, one-eyed beaver that takes a liking to his classic wood-and-canvas canoe. * Share Sarah Bonar's embarrassment as she grows up in a British Columbia ski resort town with an accident-prone father. * Build a cabin near Ontario's Beaver Valley with Bruce Day while attempting to outwit a savvy population of porcupines. * Spend a placid Christmas with Ken and Julie Seibt's family in Railay Bay, Thailand-until the devastating Tsunami of 2004 changes everything. And many more stories....

Autor

A graduate of Wilfrid Laurier's Business Administration program in Waterloo, Canada, Matt Jackson was lured away from the corporate world by the thrill of adventure journalism while still a university student. He is now an author, editor, photojournalist and professional speaker, and is the president of Summit Studios, a publishing company specializing in books about travel, humor and the great outdoors.

Matt's first book, "The Canada Chronicles: A Four-year Hitchhiking Odyssey," is a Canadian bestseller and won the IPPY award for best North American travel memoir in 2004. He has edited eight anthologies of short stories, including bestselling titles "Mugged by a Moose," "A Beaver is Eating My Canoe," and "Never Trust a Smiling Bear." His writing and photographs have also been featured in more than two dozen popular magazines such as Canadian Geographic, Equinox, Backpacker, Explore, Canoe & Kayak, and BBC Wildlife.

He lives with his wife Stacey and daughter Louise in Victoria, BC, where they spend as much time hiking and kayaking as possible.
