Jackfruit is the chronicle of one man's attempt to challenge Fate, and ultimately find his destiny and place in the world - by riding a bicycle across Latin America! From the high Andean mountains of South America, to the low tropical jungles of Central America, adventurer David Nghiem takes the reader through a soul searching exploration of the depth of human intuition as he tracks down ancient symbols and mysteries. He surveys the effects of globalization south of the border, enduring loneliness, dehydration, high altitude sickness, crocodiles, and gun shots as he faces his greatest challenge - surviving the journey!

Reviews
|
David Nghiem has written a delightful story of his travels with the undertone of an economic reality textbook that reveals what is really going on in our neighboring lands. This book is for readers who want to understand what has happened to the American economy plus gain a firsthand look at how it feels to be someone other than American Caucasian.
