The Lonely Ache A Guy's Search for Love, Connection & Meaning

In this true story, a 35-year-old guy sets out to visit Boulder, Colorado, in the year 1986, in search of answers to his cratering life. Within the first couple days there, he meets a woman from Germany, a man from Denmark, and twin sisters from Sweden. These accidental encounters make a strong impression on him, which leads him to abruptly change course and travel immediately to Europe. Landing in Brussels, he slowly makes his way north, through Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and a host of cities and small towns in Sweden, with rich experiences filling one chapter after the next. This unexpected journey to lands unknown will forever change his life!
