Jake, Elwood and Me: Confessions of a Restless Hitchhiker

In June 1979, Charlie stormed out of high school towards an unwritten future. Almost half a century later, he has accomplished a great deal, but also wondered what might have been had he made different choices.

Join him on a journey across land and sea by boat, car, bus, and motorcycle. From the neon lights of South America’s port districts, through the pitch-black nights on the Amazon River, to the winding curves of Route 36 in California.

Who is Charlie, really? A sailor, hitchhiker, biker, or just your average Joe? Was he behind Argentina’s invasion of the Falkland Islands? Was he the spark that ignited the Swedish IT boom? Is he truly the one who inspired the screenwriter of Pretty Woman?

Tag along for a fast-paced and humorous ride in this debut novel about Charlie – a young man who sets out to sea with a knack for landing himself in the most extraordinary situations.
