Three unforgettable journeys. Three continents. Thousands of miles. One storyteller.
This special collection brings together Cory Mortensen's first three travel memoirs: The Buddha and the Bee, UNLOST, and Embracing Bewilderment. From cycling across America to wandering through South America and Antarctica, to exploring Europe and Southeast Asia, these books capture the humor, uncertainty, wonder, and transformation that come from stepping beyond the familiar.
Whether traveling by bicycle, backpack, ferry, dugout canoe, or sheer determination, Mortensen's stories celebrate curiosity, resilience, and the belief that the best experiences often begin when plans fall apart.
Perfect for readers who enjoy adventure travel, memoir, personal growth, and stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
