In the hours after September 11, 2001, Aaron Tait deployed to the Persian Gulf as a seventeen-year-old military officer.

This is the story of what happened next.
Far Horizons is a globe-spanning coming-of-age memoir of a fighter turned peace-seeker on a vibrant journey of transformation, adventure and love, set against backdrops of the Iraq War, Africa and the world beyond. Fresh and introspective, it will lead you to exploring not only the far corners of the world but also the uncharted aspects of yourself.
“A captivating adventure that blends wanderlust, passion, and the kind of love that changes everything.”
Nina Karnikowski - Author of The Mindful Traveller
A globe-spanning tale of discovery and redemption, Aaron’s raw honesty shines in his search for what it means to live a good life.’ 
Mark Isaacs – Author of The Kabul Peace House
 

From war zones to slums, Aaron Tait has worked across the globe as a military officer, humanitarian and social entrepreneur, and now writes to help people live deliberate lives filled with purpose. Aaron was thrust into the frontline of international crisis at a young age, deploying to Iraq immediately after 9/11 as a military officer. His travels across the world in his twenties led to a move to East Africa at 25, where he led aid projects in crisis zones and urban slums. As a co-founder of the impact organisation ygap, Aaron has helped to improve the lives of more than a million people living in poverty. He is a geography graduate of the University of Cambridge and holds three master's degrees in international affairs. Aaron lives with his wife, Kaitlin, and his two sons, Atlas and Finn, in Byron Bay.
