J Jay EugeneJ. (Jay) Eugene is a wandering flâneur drawn to the margins of society; from teeming cities, to Himalayan trails, to the isolation of North Korea. For more than fifty years, his curiosity in people, cultures, economics, and geopolitics has placed him in regions on the edge of transformation. Jay has lived in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. He spent two decades as an executive building and leading businesses worldwide. Now based in the U.S., he still sets out with a small leather bag each year, and circles the globe in search of places in transition. Travel, it seems, remains his first and most persistent calling. DROP OUT is drawn from his first five-year overland sojourn across Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India in the 1970s. Read More Read Less
