Matthew Félix is not a luxury traveler. His unorthodox bathing practices in Paris. The Dead Sea shower incident that led to an arrest. His nightmare was trapped on a bus without a bathroom in Anatolia. Whether describing a kitchen with a toilet or a friend setting herself on fire in his apartment, Matthew's style and wit have garnered him comparisons to Sedaris and Bryson. Porcelain Travels is sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, occasionally shocking, and always entertaining.
