Publisher's Synopsis
Don't settle for a life of regrets and routine.
Life should be an amazing adventure.
Most people will tell you they want to live a meaningful life and die without regrets. For some reason though, many live the way they feel they have to instead of the way they really want to. Maybe we are waiting for permission to chase our dreams and passions and be who we want to be. Maybe it's just easier to stop hoping and settle for the status quo. But is it?
We can live in a prison of disappointment, surrender, and excuses where we regret not doing the things we were afraid to do, or we can passionately pursue our dreams and create a fulfilling and meaningful life. You get to choose.
Passport Forward tells the many exciting stories of adventure traveler Lex Latkovski and his quest to overcome obstacles, step through fears, and create a passionate and exciting life. Lex invites you to seize opportunities while you can, choose experiences over material things, and take the first step now ... then keep going.
"My wife and I bought a boutique hotel in Costa Rica after reading Lex's book. We were so inspired by his message of living fearlessly that we traded a typical suburban lifestyle for an adventure in paradise. Lex takes you with him on a journey and shows you that often we are the only ones holding ourselves back from chasing our dreams. Passport Forward is authentic and entertaining and a delight to read."
-Mark Leaman, Owner, Rancho Pacifico - Costa Rica
Lex Latkovski has been to 80 countries, all 50 US states, and lived as a Zen monk for 16 months. He unknowingly rode a motorbike through a tiger preserve at night, spent months trekking in the Himalayas, made it to the semifinals on NBC's America's Got Talent, and spent 12 days horseback riding in Mongolia. His travel blog, TheLexpedition.com, entertains and inspires people all over the world.
"Lex Latkovski has done two brave things: dared to live an adventure most people only dream of and had the audacity to actually write about it. This book will challenge you to question the status quo and live a life worth writing about."
--Jeff Goins, Bestselling Author of The Art of Work
"Passport Forward is inspiring, entertaining, and authentic. If you want to live out your dream, make the world a better place, and live every single day to achieve your purpose, do yourself and the world a favor and read Lex's book."
--Chandler Bolt, Founder of Self Publishing School
"It's been said that people change more through stories than through instruction. Lex Latkovski is a master story-teller, and you won't be disappointed in his latest book, Passport Forward. Lex has traveled the world and documented his adventures, and his writing invites you to ride shotgun. You think you're just reading stories, but you'll find yourself slightly dissatisfied with your day-to-day routine. Lex won't ask you to go where he's gone. Instead, he invites you to add a little spice to your own life - to explore just over the edge of your current existence. You won't be disappointed, and you won't be the same."
--Dr. Mike Bechtle - Author of five books including People Can't Drive You Crazy If You Don't Give Them the Keys and Dealing With the Elephant in the Room.
