Nick Ellena doesn't simply travel - he seeks out adventures most of us can only imagine. Journey with Nick in the pages of "Flashbacks from Here and There" as he takes you around the globe-and into the hearts of those he meets.

More than a travel guide, Nick's stories capture a place and time-as well as a thinking man's perspective on what he's seen and experienced.

Turn the pages of this full-color, hardback book and begin your own journey:

• Slog through a Uganda jungle for three days to reach a mountaineering base camp-and follow it with a successful assault on a 16,000-foot peak.
• Drive a lowly Volkswagen Beetle on a 10,000 mile journey from Oroville, California along the Pan American Highway to Peru. No bridges? No problem-load the Bug on a locally-made canoe.
• Spend an afternoon with the Bandukwala clan, a family with the ancestral tradition of making arms for ruling Indian princes.
• Fish for piranhas on a jungle lake in Peru.
• Negotiate 105 miles of hairpin turns and dusty Pakistan roads over two days to watch the world's highest-played annual polo match-at an elevation of 12,238 feet!

A journalist for more than 40 years, Nick shares his adventures with narrative that's as engaging as it is insightful. Hundreds of photos will take you to obscure locations around the world.
