About the Book
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!
