In his mid-twenties, Alex Sheshunoff had his own internet start-up and had made national news. But he was also burned-out. So he bought a one-way ticket to the island of Yap, giving up everything he was supposed to want in search of all the things he never knew he needed. Along the way, he answered some important questions and some less essential ones too, such as: 1. How much, per pound, should you expect to pay a priest to fly you to the outer islands of Yap? 2. If you could have just one movie on a remote Pacific island, what would it definitely not be? 3. How do you blend fruity drinks without a blender? 4. Is a free one-hour class from Home Depot on 'flower box construction' sufficient training to build a house? While in the Pacific, Alex learned a lot. About making big choices and big changes. About the parts ofParadise that don't make it into the brochures. About the locals and expats he encountered, offended, and befriended. And, most of all, about focusing on what you actually care about. Now Alex shares his incredible story in a book that will surprise you,make you laugh, take you to such unforgettable islands as Angaur and Pig, and perhaps inspire you to find your own little place in the sun"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Sheshunoff, Alex $x Travel $z Yap. $z Yap. 600 10 $a Sheshunoff, Alex $x Homes and haunts $z Yap. $z Yap. 650 0 $a Young men $z Yap $z Yap $v Biography. 650 0 $a Americans $z Yap $z Yap $v Biography. 650 0 $a Moving, Household. 650 0 $a Life change events. 650 0 $a Burn out (Psychology). 650 0 $a Escape (Psychology). 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology). 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HUMOR / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a TRAVEL / Australia & Oceania. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a Yap (Micronesia) $x Description and travel. 856 42 $3 Cover image $u 9780451475862.jpg 941 $a 5 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314011941.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012024408.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717030537.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006090855.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20160123012118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5894338647CB11E598A1CBA4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
