Loves Kerbsides and Goodbyes encompasses nearly a decade-and-a-half
on the road capturing the nature, characters, emotions and living
loose of global backpacking today. Kerbsides are backpackers'
theatres to meet, re-connect, share their lives, fall in love, say
goodbye. They are their platforms to perform - strumming outside
China tea houses to crowds venerating them like rock stars,
gathering an international troubadour on Kuala Lumpur sidewalks to
busk for drinks, or outside a 7-11 on that ultimate backpacker
kerbside Kaoh San Road, Bangkok. Kerbsides are where backpackers
manifest uncomplicated love - treating every day as a minute and a
lifetime. It may be a farewell, but it's no big thing. There's no
lost luggage, cancellations, reservation errors, bad wine or
slighted courtesies - just toting backpack, camera and guitar.
Busking at borders. Freezing in Mongolia. Shivering in Siberia.
Frying in Pakistan. Hitching the Sichuan Highway. Navigating the
Rio Napa. Share the heat, cold, stress, discomfort, discovery,
pain, danger and elation of life on the road. There's Indian,
Chinese and Thai police interrogations. There's drugs, exploitation
and backpacking hedonism. There are frustrations, elations,
tensions and wonderment on long, arduous overland journeys. There's
the adrenalin of high mountain voids, the despair of money scammed
in Bolivia's backblocks, the satisfaction of saving a Swiss life in
death-dealing subcontinent heat. There's broken bones, muggings and
robbery because longterm backpacking is challenging and dangerous.
Loves Kerbsides and Goodbyes traces the loose, weaving,
international travels of a group of backpackers who meet and
re-connect as they cross borders, share other cultures and
experience countless incidents from tender to humorous to dangerous
to perilous. There are no prescriptive do's and don'ts, or best
destination lists - simply the excitement, wonder, dangers and
freedoms of backpacking today.
