I was fascinated when I first laid my eyes on an atlas as a kid. That miles upon miles of the world existed was wondrous to my young mind. I immediately made a vow to tour the world when I grew up. Then came a job and a family, and I soon forgot about this desire. However, this book has reminded me that it is still possible to achieve my childhood dream.

In Man Mission, author Eytan Uliel chronicles the story of adventure that he and his three friends: Sam, Alec, and Daniel, undertake across the world over fifteen years. The first trip they take is to Harper's Pass in New Zealand, and by the time they take the final one to Iceland, they have transversed different continents, met people from different cultures, and had the time of their lives.

What endeared me most to the book and the four friends, in particular, was their enthusiasm and incredible desire to pursue their dreams. We can all probably attest that it is nearly impossible to think about traveling. How can we when we have jobs with seamlessly endless work hours? The jobs may not even pay enough to allow us to take time off. We also have to take care of our families. Amidst all these obligations, anyone would excuse you for deeming touring the world a stretch. However, the author and his friends are determined to surmount all these challenges. Nothing will stop them in the quest to actualize their boyhood dreams. The author has a young career and has just gotten engaged to his girlfriend, but this does not deter him from orchestrating an adventure for the ages. I found this very inspirational.

The book is an actual emotional roller coaster. Some encounters are so spine-chilling that the reader cannot fathom how the characters will make it out. The author is particularly adept at making scary experiences so scary that you would be forgiven to think you were reading a horror novel.

The book is a true masterpiece. While some readers, especially younger ones, may not agree with the overt use of profane language, I found that it helped make the book more relatable. Other than that, I could not find a negative thing in the book. Furthermore, the book has been professionally edited. I am therefore inclined to award it a perfect rating of four out of four stars.

I would recommend this book to tourists and travel bloggers.

I was also touched by their unwavering desire to pursue their dreams. This book has inspired me to do more adventurous activities with my friends while we are still young, so we can get the most out of life. This is such a great book that I think every young adult can learn from it.

The book indeed teaches us that time would always be there for us to explore the beautiful things of life only if could open our eyes and see the possibilities.
