The World’s Richest Busboy
by J.J. Brito
SunDaze Publishing
Casa de Solana Bed & Breakfast is oh-so proud to celebrate local author J.J. Brito and his book “The World’s Richest Busboy”–a fun, cleverly written, and inspiring account of youthful discovery! Starting at age seventeen, J.J. saves his modest tips from delivering pizzas and bussing tables so he could travel to find the perfect waves he once doodled on his high school notebooks. Stretching every dollar to its limit, he lives out of a station wagon in South Africa, island-hops through Indonesia, hitches across Australia, sails the Caribbean, and rides an old motorcycle (rigged with surfboard racks) from California to Costa Rica. Despite tricky border crossings, a desert sandstorm, punishing surf, and being thrown into a Central American jail, the perks of paradise are never far away, and J.J. finds himself gliding through a glass-like tunnel inside an emerald green wave in Nicaragua, sharing an incredible session with thousands of dolphins churning the waters in the Indian Ocean, and being welcomed into the homes of people on every corner of the earth. Through these diverse experiences, he learns about the overwhelming beauty of nature, the generosity of the human spirit, and the unpredictability of life on the road. Along the way he realizes he is indeed “The World’s Richest Busboy”.
J.J. will be on site at Casa de Solana on Friday, September 7, from 6 to 9 pm, talking about his trip and autographing his books. Whether you’ve walked the wild side yourself or are still dreaming of doing so, come see his display and hello to this fabulous young author/adventurer!
Be sure to sneak a peek in our dining room where we have local artist Jackie Rock’s private collection on display and enjoy a glass of complimentary Solana Sangria!
