Across Eurasia is a journey of discovery, which unfolds during a yearlong adventure that encircles the globe.Sensing that his life has edged towards meaninglessness, and finding little refuge in society's trappings, author Toby Smith returns to a mostly abandoned village high in the Mexican desert.
