Sailing Against the Wind

I came from a well-to-do family. I lived in a beachfront house with a swimming-pool, sauna and all the amenities of an affluent life. I studied in the best private schools money can afford. I vacationed abroad, owned boats, cars and motorcycles, and was a member of a yacht club. Then, all of a sudden, I found myself homeless and alone in a foreign country hoping my living nightmare would end soon.

 

 

Sailing Against the Wind is a memoir about the challenges and rewards of a man's journey of self-discovery. It narrates the author's continual travails and adventurous travels over land and sea from South America to Europe, before coming to the United States to become another valuable thread in the diverse fabric of American society.
