In With Both Feet: A Passport Full of Memories
John Reynolds
John Reynolds, a twenty-two-year-old Kiwi, with a new teaching diploma, began his overseas travels in 1964 which gave him a lifelong passion for international travel and experiences.
As well as teaching in numerous countries he played piano in London pubs, escaped arrest in communist East Berlin, attended the Easter Uprising commemoration in Ireland, experiencing apartheid in South Africa, being threatened with a rifle on the Zambezi River, and escaping from an angry female elephant in Zimbabwe. In Canada while surviving below-zero temperatures he hosted a weekly radio show and conducted a high school band at Montreal’s World’s Fair.
John turned these experiences into a lifelong journey, writing books, screenplays, radio scripts, musicals and films; his genuine interest in people and the insights from his own journeys were key to the narratives.
In With Both Feet is the road map to John’s personal life and work, a gallery of clear-sighted reflections and amusing anecdotes whose generosity and humour will inform and amuse a wide range of readers.
