Kiwi At Large - E S Allison

The author, a New Zealander, leaves his homeland with £80. For nearly two years he wanders alone over some 22,000 miles in twenty countries to gratify a life-long curiosity about such fabulous cities as Babylon, Isfahan and Troy; to satisfy his longing to see places where he had fought with his countrymen in the War; and to trace six people he had known then - in Egypt, Italy and in prison camp - whose present whereabouts are uncertain.

Twice, for brief periods, he earns money, but is is insufficient for his needs. So he travels rough, in seamy third-class Indian trains, in crowded Arab coaches; on donkeys and a good deal on foot. His bed, sometimes under a tree or in a Persian stable, is more often in peasants' cottages, in Greek monasteries, in Arab dives, in cheap hotels of shady character, in deserted ancient cities - though occasionally in wealthy homes.
