In an ageing Chevrolet Chevette, he drove nearly 14,000 miles through 38 states to compile this hilarious and perceptive state-of-the-nation report on small-town America.

It presents the listener with nine short stories that, although not long enough to become boring or dull, have the sufficient length to engage and captivate the listener, whilst displaying fluent and natural Portuguese dialogue.

In 1933, Robert Byron set off from Venice with his friend Christopher Sykes to explore the architecture of the Middle East. Their long and arduous journey took them from Cyprus and Jerusalem to Syria, Iraq, Persia, Afghanistan, and finally, Oxiana, a tiny country around the river Oxus, which snakes down from Russia into Afghanistan. They travel by any means necessary (truck, camel, horses, and foot), and encounter several setbacks, but their risks are rewarded as they encounter some of the greatest examples of Eastern art and architecture, many of which have now vanished forever.

La apasionante aventura que tuvieron que vivir los Romaníes desde que salen de la India, todavía divididos en tribus, hasta que se acaban uniendo entre ellos formando lo que sería después el pueblo Rom, cautivó a Kike del Olmo de tal manera que no tuvo más remedio que echarse a la carretera en busca de más pistas. En un viejo pub de Calcuta se fragua el plan, unir la India y España por tierra en un destartalado Land Rover, que se convertiría casualmente en transporte y albergue.
