QUESTS ENRICH OUR LIVESQuests are the backbone of all the great fables. And they are key elements in leading a satisfying and enriching life.This volume of 24 quests - at times audacious, touching, and ridiculous - are some highlights of Paul Spencer Sochaczewski’s purposeful investigative travel.He...seeks out, and meets, a female vampire ghost in Borneo who wants to follow him homeis invited on a date by the Mermaid Queen of Javainterviews the last elephant hunter of Vietnam travels to meet the humble villager in Laos who captured a precious white elephant that was then hijacked by the country’s First Ladyvisits the purported 'lost Jews' of an isolated Indonesian islandmeets a homeless Hawaiian-wannabe Chinese emperorconducts the first comparative taste test of civet-dung coffeeinvestigates his own family’s history and finds one aunt from Transylvania who told bold, self-serving, perfectly understandable lies about her background'Within each of us lies the power to transcend our limitations and shape our own destiny. It is not the size or scope of the quest that matters, but the courage and conviction with which we embark upon it. This is why Quests, the new book by Paul Spencer Sochaczewski, is so vital, important, and inspirational.'- Richard Bangs, co-founder of Sobek Expeditions, author of The Art of Living Dangerously
