Javins Scores with Dik-Dik, GoNOMAD

After getting Tim Leffel’s comment on this blog I headed to Barnes & Nobles in Kingston, N.Y. to find his book, not in the backwaters yet. I did however find, Stalking the Wild Dik-Dik by Marie Javins. I first learned about Marie when we were both asked by the founder of GoNOMAD, Lauryn Axelrod to be a part of a new travel site.

I also met her when GoNomad had a booth at the Adventure Travel Show in NYC a few times as she showed up to assist with the crowds. She was always ready to head somewhere and now I can finally catch up with all her adventures. The book is published by Seal Press and is about “One Woman’s Solo Misadventures Across Africa”.

Max Hartshorne also contributed to some advice to Tim’s book the Contrarian Traveler also. He is headed here for Labor Day weekend for some fun and brain storming this weekend. No doubt we will both catch up on Marie’s adventures, congratulations Marie!

And coincidentally, I have a sidebar in Tim Leffel's book too.
