Our experiences are arrows on our backs to draw upon in the heat of life’s journey. They will always be with us. To collect arrows is to live in gratitude for every step along the way. No matter what happens, we’ll always have a quiver of experience and our spirit as a bow. Each day is a memory we get to shape and craft. We’re sharpening the arrows to stow on our backs with every second we appreciate life for the gift that it is. The beauty of California and the Pacific Northwest serve as the backdrop of this uplifting and often humorous tale.

It’s a question every human being endeavoring to find their way in the world faces—a question that rages like an undying fire in the spirit and soul of writer Vincent Russell Van Patten. It’s spring of 2022. Striving to answer this question, Vincent embarks on a bohemian adventure starting in Lisbon, Portugal, where he’ll work and live at a quirky youth hostel in the heart of the city. In Lisbon, the days are golden and the nights bring debauchery.
