Wonder/Wander tells the story of the people and places the author encountered while living and working as a 23-year-old American in communities off the tourist trail in Latin America. From a baseball playing farmer in a Nicaraguan coffee field to an Andean wise man in search of an ancient path in Peru; from a dangerous marketplace in central Caracas to the pampas of Argentina haunted by gaucho ghosts – the author moves readers through the continent’s diverse landscapes and characters, bringing them with him to wonder and wander across 522 days in Latin America.
