Synopsis

The Power of a Dream (Fremont, Neb.)- After 13 years of success in the business world, Dean Jacobs asked himself a couple of questions: How much does one need to be happy What is my dream The answer to the latter was easy: to take a journey around the world! From May 2001 to April 2003, Jacobs traversed the globe on a low-budget adventure to better understand and know the world we all share. This journey is now captured in his book: "Wondrous Journey- The World is Waiting for You." Living on $10-$15 a day, Jacobs wandered from Australia and Southeast Asia to the Middle East and Africa as he explored 28 countries. He crossed the equator four times, ate exotic foods and encountered fascinating animals. But more importantly in a world that we are told to be afraid of, Jacobs found something different. The kindness of the ordinary people in the world was the rule, not the exception. Near the beginning of Jacobs journey, the event known as "9-11" occurred. Instead of stopping, he continued out of a realization that more then ever he needed to learn about the world. This is a story of a man who would stop at nothing to follow his dream and the magic that happens when one follows his heart. Jacobs book captures the essence of the 22 1/2 month journey with 190 pages of stories and 70 pages containing 140 wonderful color photographs.
