Jim Wood
Reading & Booksigning Tickets: Free event
What A Trip! could be described as Eat, Pray, Love for guys. In it, Jim Wood, senior writer for Marin Magazine, travels across America by bus, train and hitchhiking. Later he traverses the Tibetan Plateau then journeys to Mongolia, Patagonia, Cuba, Iraq, and China. Along the way, he learns about life from a North Carolina hillbilly, a nomadic Tibetan mother, a South Bronx tenement superintendent, and a Chinese shaman. When in California, Wood starts three successful businesses. He endures three unsuccessful marriages. He’s arrested for assaulting a police officer. And be prepared for insights into guerilla warfare, Buddhism, life in space, New York City, and living a happy and healthy life.
About Jim Wood: Jim Wood is a senior writer for Marin Magazine. He and his wife Nikki, the editorial director of the publication, have been married for 25 years. They live in Tiburon and have four daughters and nine grandchildren.
