Living the Flipside: Adventures of an Expat in Delhi

On a Friday afternoon in Boulder, Colorado, an advertising art director minding his own business at work got a cryptic text message from his girlfriend that read, "Any interest in moving to India for 6 months to 1 year?" Once he replied, "Ok, I'm in," it set off a series of cascading events that led to him quitting his job, a sudden marriage, a whirlwind relocation around the globe, living in a house that smelled like poo, fleeing from an alcoholic monkey, countless maddening hours navigating Indian bureaucracy, epic rail journeys, and drinking desert martinis--straight gin from a flask-on Christmas Eve while riding across the dunes of Rajasthan on camelback.

This massive coffee table book is the anthology of the author's expat blog, complete with wild stories, practical travel guides, original artworks and photographs, and his struggle to cope with identity change in his new role as a "trailing husband" and finding purpose as an out-of-work advertising creative on the streets of New Delhi.
