Buy “Boats, Bikes, and Boxing Gloves” on Amazon

The following is an Amazon review by “Yowza”

For anyone who has travelled in South East Asia, they know that every day is an adventure. For most, however, this entails merely learning a couple words (‘beer’, ‘two more’, ok 3 words) of the local language.

For Antonio Graceffo, he explores the territory outside the safety zone, into the territories of the people’s country (not expat landia), and survives brilliantly to record how he does it.

The amazing thing is, he doesn’t write to boast, he writes to tell you the reality, the beauty of people’s lives who thrive every day under extreme circumstances. Read this book, and you’ll come to find out for yourself.
