I'm searching for a book a friend informed me about but didnt know the title or author. She said the premise of the book was that this man left his home in the United States to travel abroad and meet different people. He went to at least 5 countries including the Phillipines. He travelled with the intention of finding someone to invite to come live with him in the United States so they could experience his culture. Does this sound familiar? It sounds like an excellent and interesting read. I'm hoping it is a similar read to Bill Brysons "a Walk in the Woods"
