Review

As the synopsis suggests if you are looking for a travel guide then this one isn't for you! This is one mans journey and what he thought of it! 

It's definitely a unique read with part journal entries and part stories of the authors experiences and I like the way this book was set out.  

The author has witty style and he keeps it light which helps you drift off with him to the most beautiful places and live vicariously though his stories

This book is definitely for the person who loves to travel or just for someone who wants to ignite some wanderlust without leaving the comfort of the sofa
