We wanted to go to hot, intense places together, to cities where open markets breathed that sweaty, fish-gutty, trash-burning smell that clings to travelers’ memories forever. We had each whiffed it before, this odor of deep travel, but it was something else to embark as husband and wife to seek it together. This is my first narrative travel book, a collection of tales recounting the mishaps, quests, and encounters of our round-the-world voluntourism honeymoon.

December 21, 2012 was an important date for the Maya; it marked the end of the Long Count, a 5,125-year cycle of the Maya calendar, and the world’s transition into a new era. Traveling to the Mundo Maya in the year 2012 was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—and it still is.

Herein reside seventeen stories (and one poem) written by Peace Corps Volunteers from across the generations and across the planet. Such writing often brings expectations for a certain type of book (heartwarming, uplifting, nice). Many books give you that experience. And we like those books. They are good books. The world needs those books. This is not that book. Americans Do Their Business Abroad is a collection of stories a little too goofy, a little too personal (and maybe a little too gross) to belong anywhere else. Latrines. Goat eyeballs. Pickpockets. Whimsy. Wisdom. And arson in the name of hygiene. Enjoy.
