Cultural misunderstandings, crazy and dangerous situations,
inter-cultural friendships, love and disappointment and the
excitement of exploring. "Crossing Borders" tells the story
of living and becoming an adult in a foreign country away
from friends and family. This narrative is not a simple
travel log of pondering curiosities, it unites the
weirdest, most interesting and funniest experiences from
twelve years living abroad.

The story starts out with the author's experiences of his
first adventure in the heart of Europe-in German speaking
Austria. Dreams of going to study at the Viennese Academy
of Music go up in smoke when the protagonist fails the
entrance exam.

The protagonist not only ends up living in a mountain
village in the Alps, but also discovers traits and virtues
in his new Austrian friends that he never thought possible.

From almost getting shot in Cairo, having his bride
kidnapped on their wedding day, to getting blackmailed by a
Moroccan snake charmer, each chapter takes the reader on an
extraordinary cultural trip, a book for anyone who likes to
travel, whether in their mind or reality.
