  14. There is little doubt Sebastian Junger, author of the bestseller, The Perfect Storm, has led an adventurous life. A journalist who has reported from Kosovo, Cypress, the American West, the Caribbean, Afghanistan, and Bosnia, perhaps it is not surprising that he took a NOLS Adventure course at the age of 14 in 1976. What is clear is that his NOLS training still comes in handy in such places.
