Banana Peels on the Tracks
He had a car, an apartment and a decent job, but he was bored. Then he saw an ad in an online forum: Teach English in Czechoslovakia. The year was 1991 and he thought: why not? So he applied and received his acceptance letter months later. In the autumn of 1992, just three years after the Berlin Wall came down, Jason Lockwood arrived in the Slovak Republic to teach English for a year. He went with few expectations and too much luggage. What he found was a torn country grasping at new beginnings, struggling to recover from decades of oppression and dictatorship. In this memoir, Jason Lockwood brings back for Western audiences a snapshot of an historic period in a far-off country, and offers prescriptions not only for that world, but for our own, too.

Two Weeks in Phoenix
It started as a simple trip. Two weeks in Phoenix, Arizona, during the 2017 Christmas holidays, where Jason’s family and old friends live. Five years after the passing of his father, Jason and his partner Steven reckoned it was time to make a return visit. But then travel planning took on a life of its own when Steven mused they could perhaps add New York to the itinerary. With airfare creeping up to $4,000 per person, the duo decided on another option: what about a round-the-world holiday, which costs much less in airfare, but would extend the trip by several weeks. Join Jason, Steven, and Steven’s teenage daughter Zoe, on their 51-day quest for excitement in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Jerome, Williams, the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Tucson, New York, London, Oxford, Paris, Brussels, and Singapore.
