About this listen

Travel is an excuse to challenge your beliefs and increase your perspective.

Telling travel stories is an excuse to discuss society, philosophy, the evolution of modern relationships, and the state of contemporary marketing.

From the secluded rice terraces of Mayoyao to the expat-friendly beaches of Boracay, Come Back Frayed is a collection of stories and essays written about and from the Philippines by full-time traveler Colin Wright.

The pieces in this collection connect isolated agrarian societies with those that have fallen prey to rampant consumerism, and draw a line between introverted, nonstandard lifestyles and the always-on connections that bind humanity together in the modern world. There's also some discussion about allergies, loincloths, and why cockroaches are so rage-inducing.

Captivating

I couldn’t put this book down. I really like this guy’s perspective on life and various topics. His voice was clear and warm and it was simply a wonderful book to listen to! This is a book I will listen to again! Well done all around!

Thoughtful and Introspective

I've read/listened to several of Colin's books. I enjoy his style of writing and overall perspective. This book is thoughtful and introspective. He seems the kind of character that you can sit with and just talk about life.
