Bored with his humdrum life, Robert Martin takes to the road for a year of traveling throughout North and South America. I Know Where I've Been tells the story of the people he meets along the way, and the crazy adventures that ensue when he starts saying yes to new experiences and goodbye to past sorrows. Whether he's getting held at the border for questioning as he enters into Canada for the first time, or witnessing a shooting outside his Bogota hotel, Robert paints a vivid picture of what happens when you let your guard down and attempt to experience new cultures and reconcile with your past. These funny and often irreverent stories are mixed with essays and thoughts on growing up gay in the conservative South.
