Set in his book to around 2000, Troost starts by telling you about the drug trade in Fiji. He goes onto describe how he went from the drug dealer to becoming an anti-drug crusader. However, this book is more than just about the drug trade. It's also about hospitality, travel, and anthropology.

Getting stoned with Savages took me on a trip to the South Pacific islands of Fiji and Vanuatu. It was an adventure that began in 1995 when Maarten Troost and his friend Jeroen Vlasselaar decided to try their luck at finding undiscovered islands. They eventually found one, and some time passed before they met up again. Part of what made this story so interesting was the fact that it was told through Maarten's eyes. He would reflect back on memories he had while wandering the world looking for those islands. He'd share stories about the people he met along the way, telling them about his adventures and taking pictures to document everything he saw.

J. Maarten Troost is a travel writer who has traveled all over the world, but his most recent journey took him to the islands of Fiji and Vanuatu. As he travels through these islands, he experiences the beauty of the land from a foreign perspective. He discovers the cultures that have been developing for thousands of years and learns about their history.

The audiobook is the perfect companion for a journey to South Pacific islands. The story follows Maarten Troost, a German journalist who first experienced travel by rafting down remote rivers in the Amazon rainforest. Going on an island hopping journey through Fiji and Vanuatu, I was immersed in the beauty of these islands to the fullest extent.
