The World UPClose: A Solo Traveler's Second Adventure by Keith Wilkinson. For the second time in two years, Keith Wilkinson embarks on a solo journey around the world. His first trip, a year and half before, had been a journey of adventure and personal discovery, bringing new discoveries of locale, history, and culture.
