Michael Crichton, the author of Jurassic Park, was one of the world’s greatest travelers. In his autobiography, Travels, he describes how he began “serious” traveling when he was 30 and he went to Bangkok. He then began his amazing adventures, which included diving with sharks off Tahiti, watching gorillas in the Congo, and living in the jungle in New Guinea.
In LA, he made the successful science-fiction movie West world, but he then fell into a depression and did not know what to do next. He decided to go to Bangkok, because a friend of his who lived there had invited him. It was the beginning of an incredible life of traveling.
It all began in Los Angeles, where Crichton was writing movies for Hollywood. He had given up his studies at Harvard Medical School and he had separated from his wife, because he wanted to spend his time writing. At Harvard, he had already sold one movie, The Andromeda Strain, to Hollywood, and he had begun to lose interest in medicine.
He fell into a depression.
He went to Bangkok.
He left Harvard.
