About the Author

After growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Glen Heggstad went from being the youngest Hells Angel ever voted in, to International Martial Arts champion. He’s spent the last two decades traveling the world solo from hitchhiking through Ireland to motorcycling in the Third World. Made famous after his harrowing capture by Colombian terrorists, he’s been featured on CBS News’ 48 Hours, National Public Radio, MSNBC, Montel Williams, Larry King Live and is the subject of a National Geographic Channel docu-drama. While out on the road, he stays in touch with readers by posting travelogues on his widely viewed website strikingviking.net. He is also the author of One More Day Everywhere (ECW Press, 2009).
