In his latest book, From Boardroom to Backpack: Risking it All, Robert Sangster takes readers on a riveting journey through seven continents and 100 countries. Sangster, a former law firm partner and successful businessman, recounts his decision to leave behind a conventional career path at the age of 38 to travel the world. The memoir, inspired by personal letters and journals, delves into his transformation from attorney and government policy-maker to novelist, restaurateur, and sailor.
Described by Tim Leffel, editor of Perceptive Travel, as “a great ride made more rewarding by the insights and perspectives Sangster shares,” the book offers keen observations on life and humanity. Bob Sehlinger, the creator of Unofficial Guide, adds that it is “life-changing for anyone who hungers for far horizons.” Sangster’s narrative invites readers to contemplate the bold choices that define one’s journey and the profound impact of venturing into the unknown.
