The Dogs of ‘Nam is a collection of short stories from over a decade of world travel. Part clueless comedy, part poetic observation, The Dogs of ‘Nam is a meditation on what it means to be a traveler. Follow along as Chris fumbles his way through life as a budget backpacker, illuminating the lessons he has learned along the way. This is no glamorous tale of #wanderlust, but a true and honest accounting of what it means to be a traveler – to connect, to explore, to let go.

With tales of being stalked by a jaguar in Costa Rica to living at a Buddhist monastery in Japan, The Dogs of ‘Nam will, at worst, entertain you, and at best, it will prod you into an adventure of your own.
