A Tale of Two Memoirs
Two Miami Residents Featured at Miami International Book Fair

Elliott Hester

Opportunities come and go in the blink of an eye. Oftentimes we see them and grab fast, or watch them go flying by for someone else to have.

Elliott Hester and Kathie Klarreich, two Miami residents, took advantage of what was placed in front of them: to pack up and explore the unfamiliar.

Hester, after selling his apartment and everything it contained, left South Florida to travel the world, one small country at a time. He experienced the ups and downs of being a 'continental drifter,' which he documents in his new book, Adventures of a Continental Drifter.
