Headhunters On My Doorstep: Searching for Virtue in the South Pacific - J. Maarten Troost

The South Pacific's remotest islands call to people who are searching for something they can't find anywhere else: author Robert Louis Stevenson searched for health, painter Paul Gauguin's hoped to leave the "artificial" world of Western society behind, and author J. Maarten Troost left searching for adventure and recovery from his vices. Troost also says that it's still possible to find remote, isolated places in the South Pacific, but the first trick is to get somewhere that doesn't have an airport. Troost's new book is titled Headhunters on my Doorstep.
