My Life as a Mexican Pirate: A True Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781796953107)

Probably...the wildest travel memoir ever written.

"Grab a strong drink to warm the blood, me hearties, and gather round while I tell you a tale that will forever be burned into your pretty little skulls..."

It started as a joke: a night out with friends dressed up like idiots. A debauched international pub-crawl followed, but the partying and exotic women weren't enough, and what started off as a bit of fun slowly descended into madness... With sombreros atop their thick skulls and swords hoisted high, they would venture to the most dangerous places on earth...and face the consequences.

Join naughty nomad Mark Zolo and his crew as they romp through nearly 40 countries across four continents, and skirt civil wars in Syria, Somalia & Cote D'Ivoire. If you like giant inflatable fruit, suicide bombers, light-sabres, hostage situations, psycho-lovers, fake moustaches, police chases, pet chickens, romance, violence, comedy, and adventure... this is the book for you It's a wonder how it ever got written.
