Brian Ward, 34, got his first taste of living in a foreign country after high school graduation. Since then, his life has consisted of traveling around the world, surviving on canned tuna at some points, pretending to be pro-surfer Kelly Slater’s second cousin and spying on his Russian Mafia neighbors. Ward decided to compile his journals of living in Mexico, Spain and other countries throughout Latin America and Europe, with travel tips on how to live rent-free for under $25 a day in his book titled “Single Abroad: Confessions of a Boyish Man” His book, referred to as “a modern day version of ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’” by Lulu.com, a self-publishing company, follows Ward’s adventures, both good and painful, from sharing his Levi's jeans with his host brother in Costa Rica to traveling the European by the rail system and surviving on canned tuna.
