About Michael
Michael McCarthy’s adventures around the planet read like an Indiana Jones script. He has trekked over the Himalayas to find and rescue abandoned children in the midst of a civil war, where he was captured by Maoist guerillas and held for ransom. This adventure is shown in the book (Amazon) and documentary The Snow Leopard Returns (Youtube). Over a dozen of his travel books are available on Amazon, including travel humour photobooks Amazing Adventures and Better than Snarge.
Aside from adventures, his humanitarian work includes creating and funding a cosmetics course at the federal prison for women in Nepal that resulted in the probation of 38 women; editing and publishing Spare Change Street Newspaper for 5 years, a publication that allowed homeless people in Vancouver to earn a living and self-respect instead of begging; practicing micro-philanthropy in several countries in southeast Asia; helping found the Write to Read Project in British Columbia, whose volunteers deliver libraries and Internet connections to Indigenous communities in remote locations.
