Covering his decade of global backpacking over 30 countries across five continents, veteran vagabond and travel host John Early blends his personal creative expression with insight and storytelling dedicated to all universal travelers and abstract thinkers.
This is not your typical travel book. Modern Nomad captures the ridiculous and enlightening escapades of every aspect of world travel among a myriad of cultures in a collection of stories, prose, poems, photos, lyrics and sketches.
Not for the travel faint of heart, Nomad is a cheeky ride-from the awkward (…This Must Be A Monk Thing) to the sublime (The Fourth Dimension of Machu Picchu) to the terrifying (How to Get Robbed in Mexico) to the psychedelic and spiritual (The Call of Ayahuasca), John's journeys will inspire, entertain and provoke you toward your own.

John Early is based out of his hometown Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. However, his world travels, like his writing and projects in life, always define new territory. Some of the roles John has taken on include emceeing major music festivals, national tour manager for Nintendo, entertaining on cruise ships in the Caribbean, touring on the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay across Canada, and managing adventure travel tours in Asia and Central America. From Bangkok to Zapopan, a journal and his lactose-intolerant guitar, Norma, have always been at hand. John's formal education consists of a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and Management at the University of Saskatchewan and ESC Rouen, France. Since then, it has been John's decade of globe trotting and the people he's encountered through which he has found his real education and reason to smile in life. Tales of the Modern Nomad is his first book.
