About Sky's The Limit: One Man's 70,000-Mile Journey

About the Author Eric Giuliani was born and raised in Pennsylvania, but quickly realized that wanderlust was what made him tick. After stints in Hawaii, Seattle, and Miami, he set out on the around-the-world journey chronicled in his first book, Sky's the Limit. Eric's idea of a good time is catching a ball game with his buddies and swapping stories from the road with fellow travelers. He now spends his days photographing South Florida's coastline and thinking about how he wants to throw a dart at a map and go wherever it lands. At six feet ten inches tall, Eric is an expert at ducking through doorways. Find Eric on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook @traveltall and visit his website traveltall.com for additional information about his around-the-world journey. Product Description Have you ever dreamed of quitting everything to travel around the world? Inexperienced and ill-prepared, thirty-four-year-old Eric Giuliani set out to make his way around the world without flying and with little money after quitting his corporate career. With ideas of becoming a globetrotting travel writer, photographer, and filmmaker, he attempts to reinvent himself on the road and begins to barter his way across Africa, then Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America, and Antarctica. Sky’s the Limit is the story of Eric’s 1,000-day, 70,000-mile journey, one that is both internal and external—think Eat, Pray, Love meets Bear Grylls. His overland travel is as arduous as it gets and he primarily relies on public transportation—tin-can buses, dilapidated trains, and cargo ships to cross the oceans. His internal journey is equally arduous. Fighting creative insecurities, devastating heartbreak, financial fears, and long stretches of isolation, he repeatedly must dig down deep in order to persevere. Often driven by intuition and defiant determination, Eric’s adventure pushes him past rocky stretches: a tense, two-day bus ride across a region recently attacked by the terrorist outfit Al Shabaab; a train journey in Europe alongside Syrian refugees Eric is powerless to help; a mixup in Siberia that leaves him stranded in the middle of winter. There are joyful moments as well: swimming with great white sharks in South Africa, falling in love in Australia, a booze cruise through Ha Long Bay, and finding a community of friends in Antarctica. Along the journey, Eric discovers his creativity and also his purpose. An absorbing, first-hand account of overcoming seemingly impossible obstacles, Sky’s the Limit will inspire readers to dream up thrilling journeys of their own.
