Meltzer writes: "I saw things in Afghanistan that I will never forget. I saw children who had been orphaned by the war. I saw soldiers who had been killed in action. I saw families who had lost everything."

"But I also saw hope. I saw the resilience of the Afghan people. I saw their determination to rebuild their country. And I saw the bravery of the U.S. soldiers who were fighting to protect them."

Chapter 2: Iraq

In the second chapter of "The Adventurist," Meltzer travels to Iraq to embed with the U.S. military. He witnesses the aftermath of the Iraq War and learns about the challenges facing the Iraqi people.

Meltzer writes: "Iraq was a different kind of war than Afghanistan. It was a war that was fought in cities and towns, not in the mountains and deserts."

"I saw the destruction that the war had caused. I saw buildings that had been bombed to rubble. I saw families who had been displaced from their homes."

"But I also saw hope. I saw the resilience of the Iraqi people. I saw their determination to rebuild their country. And I saw the bravery of the U.S. soldiers who were fighting to protect them."

Chapter 3: North Korea

In the third chapter of "The Adventurist," Meltzer travels to North Korea. He is one of the few Westerners to have ever been granted permission to visit the country.

Meltzer writes: "North Korea is a strange and mysterious country. It is a country that is closed off from the rest of the world. And it is a country that is ruled by a dictator who has absolute power."

"I saw things in North Korea that I will never forget. I saw people who were starving. I saw people who were living in poverty. And I saw people who were afraid to speak their minds."

"But I also saw hope. I saw the resilience of the North Korean people. I saw their determination to survive. And I saw their dreams of a better future."

In the of "The Adventurist," Meltzer reflects on his experiences traveling to some of the most dangerous places on Earth. He writes about the people he met along the way, the risks he took, and the lessons he learned.

Meltzer writes: "I have learned that the world is a beautiful and dangerous place. I have learned that there are good people and bad people in every country. And I have learned that anything is possible if you are willing to take risks."

"I hope that my story will inspire you to explore the world and make a difference. The world needs more adventurers."
