Book excerpt: The word education comes from the Latin word educo, ‘to lead out’. I always considered travel as one of the best educators. It broadens the mind with real-life experiences. Travel also broadens the angler’s mind and sharpens his or her skill. You meet many anglers from different countries, with their own national culture and of course their own angling traditions. In this book, I try to recount my memoirs of fishing, work and travel. It shows that you don’t need a large wallet if you want to catch the fish of your dreams. You may be a student or worker, so take your opportunities when they come. Better to have tried, and caught nothing, than to never have fished at all!
