I, André Brugiroux, who European newspapers have called " the Marco Polo of the modern times " am the author of a best-selling book in french, " the Earth Is but One Country ", which describes my epic journeys of discovery and adventure that took me through 135 countries and 400. 000 km over an 18 year period. Book printed now in English by Oneworld (U - K) under the title : " ONE PEOPLE, ONE PLANET ". |
At the age of 17, I left Paris with 10 francs in my pocket to realize a childhood dream of touring the world : not as a tourist, but rather as a student of mankind. After some years in Europe where I learned five languages, and in Canada to arrange financing, I set out to re-discover the world. |
As a hitchhiker on every conceivable type of transportation, living for the most part on a dollar-a-day for six years, I covered America from end to end, the Pacific Islands, The Far East, Trans-siberia, the Middle East, India, Iran and all of Africa. |
I also made a FILM ( I narrate myself in English ) of this odyssey with my visit to Alaska at minus 45°, the Australian desert at plus 50°, to the head-hunters of Borneo, the bonzes in Bangkok, an ashram in India, a Kibbutz in Israel and a jail in Bolivia ( where I was mistaken for one of Che Guevarra's guerillas ) among many others. |
I slowly reached the conclusion, as a result of my experiences with so many of the world's people, that, as the title of my book puts it, " the earth is but one country ". In Alaska, I encountered the Baha'i Faith, a world community dedicated to achieving the unity of the human race, and embraced its tenets. In 2004, I finally visited my last territory : the kingdom of Mustang (in the Himalayas). It took me altogether 50 years to realize my childhood dream : to see all countries and territories of the world. |
