In an era when the earth is our oyster, Michael Clinton is the premier globetrotter in search of its pearls. Over the course of more than 35 years, Clinton has travelled the seven continents documenting his experiences in photographs. Now, for the first time, Clinton tells it like it is. In Globetrotter Diaries, the author shares with us his adventures, his knowledge, and his witty reminiscences of his life on the road. As the author of five photography books with Glitterati, Clinton is well-versed in the native customs, rituals, and landscapes of the most popular and remote places around the world. This book provides the perfect companion piece to his photographic work. Here Clinton reveals himself as he learns the nature of humanity from its billions of inhabitants who make travel one of life's greatest pastimes.
