註釋
A lifelong adventurer shares his fascinating story in this memoir of travel, life in Japan, and special assignments from the White House.
Davis Hawkins lives a life of adventure and travel, approaching each opportunity with the mantra to “Go, See, and Do.” He chronicles his life through this lens, starting with his southern California upbringing before moving to Japan at an impressionable age. He experienced a changing America and East Asia landscape in the mid-twentieth century living abroad. These moments impacted his life through his military service and directed him to a successful financial and consulting careers overseas.
Hawkins continued traveling, embracing any opportunity to visit different cultures. He visited more than eighty countries spanning all seven continents, finding human shrunken heads in Borneo, trekking in the Himalayas and the Amazon jungle, camping in the Gobi Desert, dining at the US State Department, couriering for the President of the United States, receiving a US congressional subpoena, surviving a military coup, and much more.
