Summers On: The Global Explorations of an Educator

In this alphabetic journey around the world, author Larry “Jungle” Shortell shares tales from his most memorable moments. Since embarking on his travels more than 25 years ago, Shortell has completed three around-the-world trips, explored more than 100 countries, set foot on all seven continents (at least twice), and visited each of the 50 states in the United States. Summers On: The Global Explorations of an Educator narrates stories about his travels in Antarctica, Antigua, Argentina, Australia, Barbuda, Bali, Borneo, Brunei, Cambodia, Easter Island, Galapagos Islands, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Laos, Mexico, Nepal, Nicaragua, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, Tahiti, Tanzania, Tibet, Uganda, the United States, and Vietnam. This travel memoir describes his journeys to exciting places, including Angkor Wat, the Taj Mahal, the Moai heads in Rapa Nui and his visits with pygmies in Africa. Shortell describes his exploits as he SCUBA dives with sharks; swims with dolphins, whales, and crocodiles; snorkels with whale-sharks and manta rays; bathes elephants; faces off with an orangutan; is bitten by a sea lion, and lies down with mountain gorillas, penguins, giant tortoises, and a sun bear. He also shares his encounters with a yak, proboscis monkeys, hippos, rhinos, and leopard seals. He even recounts his near fatal experiences with shipwrecks and high altitudes. Summers On not only captures the essence of Shortell’s zest for life and adventure, it also communicates the personal growth and understanding that can be gained through travel.
