A Journey Built on Curiosity and Real-Life Experiences
“The Experiencer Series” follows Benny as he leaves the United States with only a handful of planned destinations, trusting intuition to shape the rest of his adventure. Beginning in Moscow, Russia, the journey continues across Mongolia, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Nepal, Malaysia, and back to China before returning home.
Throughout the books, readers experience bustling cities, remote landscapes, mountain trails, historic landmarks, and memorable encounters with people from diverse cultures. Benny presents every event as it happened, allowing readers to travel alongside him through moments of joy, challenge, humor, and reflection.
A Story That Blends Adventure, Humor, and Personal Growth
Drawing from his background as a former Recon Marine and stand-up comedian, Benny writes with an engaging voice that balances entertaining travel stories with thoughtful observations. The books feature encounters aboard the Trans-Siberian Railway, adventures involving horses, elephants, and water buffalo, visits to ancient temples, and demanding treks through Nepal’s Annapurna region.
Instead of traditional chapters, the books are organized into numbered entries, creating the feel of a personal journal that unfolds naturally from one experience to the next. The recurring appearance of the number 42, which inspired the series title, reflects Benny’s personal belief that the Universe provides guidance throughout life’s journey.
“I wrote these books exactly as I lived them,” said Benny Mailman, Author of The Experiencer Series. “Every conversation, every challenge, every laugh, and every lesson became part of something much bigger than travel. I hope readers finish the series feeling inspired to trust their own path, embrace kindness, and always choose Love.”
A True Story Centered on Human Connection
One of the defining themes throughout The Experiencer Series is the belief that meaningful relationships become the greatest treasures collected during travel. Benny shares stories of friendships formed across language barriers and cultural differences while demonstrating how curiosity and compassion create lasting connections.
His personal motto, “Embrace the Dorkness,” also appears throughout the trilogy, encouraging readers to welcome humor, authenticity, and joy in everyday life. Combined with spiritual insights and vivid storytelling, the series offers an engaging perspective on what it means to explore both the world and oneself.
