At the age of youthful unreasoning, Keith Perreur-Lloyd cut his ties, and set off with enough money to last for a couple of months - well maybe three. Effectively, he had begun his career ... fundless travel.
His pattern over the following years - involving about 114 jobs - was to leave a country with whatever he had saved whilst working there, (or more likely with just the end of month's wages), to get to the next place of his choice, to look for work immediately and ... to dig in again.
By the way, most of the characters and events are real - more or less.
