A Few Feet Short

Jamey Glasnovic was born in Montreal, Quebec, in 1968, and grew up in the suburb of Beaconsfield. A family trip to Spain when Jamey was seven sparked his passion for travel, leading to explorations in Australia, Japan, Mexico, Ireland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Romania, Tanzania, Rwanda, Nepal, Tibet, and the Bahamas, as well as 26 provinces, territories, and states in Canada and the US. After relocating to Canmore in 2004, Glasnovic freelanced for newspapers like the Banff Crag & Canyon, the Canmore Leader, and Rocky Mountain Outlook, while continuing to explore Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Nepal, and Tibet. He authored Lost and Found: Adrift in the Canadian Rockies and A Few Feet Short: An Uncommon Journey to Everest. His upcoming book, Everything is Poa: One Man’s Search for Peace and Purpose in East Africa, is scheduled for publication in 2024. Jamey now resides in Mount Buchanan, PEI.

In the follow-up to his first book, Lost and Found, Jamey Glasnovic ventures into the Himalaya to get away from the monotony of the workaday grind, searching for direction, inspiration and for his place in the world.
