Love & Free

This is an intimate and moving collection of images, poems, and original art works drawn from one couple's life-changing journey around the world. This inspiring travel journal is a vicarious backpackers' dream intended to provide readers with the motivation to get out of the daily grind and get going! At the age of twenty, Ayumu Takahashi dropped out of college to set up a bar. Just two years later, he had created a hugely popular and successful chain of bars across Japan. At age twenty-four, he started a publishing company specifically to circulate his autobiography - which went on to become a national bestseller in Japan. At twenty six, three days after getting married, he gave it all up to take the journey of a lifetime with his new bride. "Love & Free" is a stunning collection of photographs, original art works, and poems drawn from Takahashi's journal as he travelled through more than 30 countries and experienced life, culture, and passion around the world.
