An hilarious travelling memoir: think Billy Connolly meets Bill Bryson. Blunt and Blue with silky-smooth comedic prose.

Blurb….

After multiple mind-bending experiences in Asia and driving 5,000 miles around Australia, the journey is brought to a blistering halt leaving an indelible mark in the North Queensland highway. Bertha goes up in smoke and Andrew loses ‘everything’….

Escaping small village life, Andrew put on his backpack and set off on an epic around the world journey; packed full of exciting, hilarious, thought provoking and often cringeworthy moments. It’s a candid tale of complete culture shock, delivered with self-deprecating humour that will make you laugh out loud and wince at the same time.

From night-time liaisons with a Princess to brushes with the Mafia; from Elephants roaming the Streets to giant glow-in-the-dark insects; Stunning women and beautiful “ladyboys”; friendships and jealousy; daring deeds and disaster; The worst toilet in the world, several brushes with death and many lessons learned in life itself.

It’s a hedonistic tale of self-discovery creating life-long friendships, beautiful and beguiling, pushing moral, cultural, and societal boundaries. This book will make you laugh, gasp and cringe as well as providing you an opportunity to examine your own psyche. Will it light a fire of freedom and adventure under you? Maybe or maybe not, but you will love the ride.

This is the trip where Andrew found his true self. It just took twenty years to get over the hangover and realise it…
