Brandon Wolfe
Author
Cold Beer and a Hot Dart
Before smartphones or international data plans, global adventure travel required extensive pre-trip research, solid street smarts, survival ingenuity, human interaction, guidebooks, paper maps, cross-cultural knowledge, and a shit ton of luck. This compelling memoir follows Brandon Wolfe and his international companions as they navigate that world of wanderology 12,000 km/7,450 miles by land and water throughout several countries within Southeast Africa. Brandon and his comrades find themselves evading wild animals, braving disease, encountering natural wonders, meeting unforgettable locals, and even scrambling to overcome their own stupidity to take in every dose of pure adventure. This riveting expedition explores the openness in authentic friendships, revels in the uncertainties within technology-free travel, captures the wonder of human resilience, yet also gets candid on the victories and struggles that come along with an addiction to adventure. Cold Beer and a Hot Dart is a rollicking, hedonistic coming of age story that blends excitement, heart, wit, and self-reflection into a captivating, old school backpacking journey.
Reviews
Readers' Favorite

"Wolfe is the perfect narrator for his story. He's brutally honest and more than willing to show the foolhardy side of himself as well as the more heroic adventuring persona. His writing style is companionable and easy, making it seem as though he's really sitting across the table from you, recounting his adventures with a beer in one hand and the ever present hot dart in the other. Wolfe's adventures are not for the complacent soul who has no qualms about letting life slip by, but rather they are filled with the stuff that those readers who still thrill to the thought of Livingstone's travels through Africa and who dream of sailing uncharted seas will thrive on. I loved following Wolfe and his companions as they backpacked through wild places and shared the camaraderie of those adventurers they encountered. Cold Beer and a Hot Dart is most highly recommended".- Reader's Favorite review, 5 stars

Self Publishing Review

"Wolfe really has lived a life like no other. In a way, you could see this as a much healthier "Into The Wild." Wolfe's open-eyed earnestness is what makes this book so appealing. As self-help books are fairly common, it can be difficult to stand out. Wolfe's refreshing honesty and truly unique stories put this book above other books in the genre." - Self-Publishing Review, 4½ Stars
