Robert Allekotte discovered that he suffers from sphilkes ("Ants in the Pants") at an early age. Happily, he found a cure in travel. The book details his trips as a hitchhiker, riding the rails, following in Marco Polo's footsteps, and learning that he can also withstand the rigors of cruising. Using positivity and trust as his guides, Robert is happy to share his adventures with us. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

After Robert Allekotte is forced to accept the fact that he is no longer the world's most important person, he recounts the places and people, many of them seemingly bit players, who were major influences on his life. Beginning with childhood memories, he traverses the sixties, seventies, and eighties armed with humor and old-fashioned good luck.

In the sequel to The Most Important Person in the World, Robert Allekotte continues telling tales of his two favorite things, teaching and travel. He ventures up and down the mountains of Pakistan, Nepal, and Africa. We accompany him through the jungles of Panama, Nazi death camps, and an Icelandic whaling station. Robert's trust in people, good luck, and sense of humor are his constant companions (almost always).
