Publisher Description

The first three books in the bestselling travel adventure series from Adam Fletcher.

"Armchair escapism that you'll gobble up in one sitting." - The Independent

Is it a good idea to pose as a scientist to sneak into Chernobyl? Join a mass dance in North Korea without knowing the steps? Enter a blizzard in China armed with just a pack of biscuits? Hike into a bubbling Indonesian volcano to meet the people with the worst job in the world? Travel thousands of kilometres with a beautiful stranger you just met in a bar, to race a tuk-tuk through India?

No, probably not…

Adam Fletcher did it anyway. These hilarious stories are what happened next.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

★★★★★ 'I think if the author changed his name to Bill Bryson people would call these books a masterpiece.'
★★★★★ 'I loved this book. It was a mixture of sadness, comedy and self torment.'
★★★★★ 'Seriously funny, engaging and even a little educational. I can't recommend this book (and series) enough.'
★★★★★ 'A travel book that makes you feel like you on the journey too.'
★★★★★ 'I've loved this series. These 3 books have been funny, interesting and entertaining.'

BOOK DESCRIPTIONS (abbreviated):

① Don't Go There: one man's quest to lose himself and find everyone else in the world's strangest places

Adam visits ten of the strangest places on earth. He'll enter a blizzard in China armed with only a pack of biscuits; ponder the apocalypse in Chernobyl; be chased by the Croatian police on his way to Liberland (the world's newest country); stalk the Sheriff of Transnistria (its most corrupt); and come face-to-face with two (dead) dictators in North Korea (its most dystopian), and much more.

② Don't Come Back (Winner of the Writer's Digest Memoir of the Year Award): a funny travel adventure of bad-tempered baboons, black magic, and breakups

Catapulted through the wilds of South Africa, Cuba and Indonesia, Adam must fight an angry baboon armed with just a sock; hike into an active volcano to meet people with the worst job in the world; have coffee and biscuits with a stranger's dead grandma; go on a double-date with a very flirtatious princess; stare down hungry Komodo dragons; is rushed to hospital by emergency speedboat; and discover why it's a really bad idea to become a gold digger in Papua New Guinea.

A lot of strange things are about to happen to him. He's not ready for any of them…

③ Tuk-Tuk for Two: two strangers, one unforgettable race through India in a tuk-tuk named Winnie

"The race." She said. "India. Were you serious...?"

About racing a tuk-tuk one thousand kilometres through India with a woman I'd just met? No, I wasn't serious.

"There's a fifty percent chance we'll die. And the flight's in two days. But if you want to, okay…"

It was not a reasonable offer. But then she wasn't a reasonable woman. She was certainly unreasonably attractive. I tried not to let that sway me because driving terrified me; I hadn't done it in a decade. But if I could drive in India, I could drive anywhere. If I drive a tuk-tuk, I could drive anything. And if I said yes, I'd get to spend ten days with her. Would that be enough time to find out who she was, what she wanted, and then convince her to abandon that and want me instead?

There was only one way to find out…

BONUS: Includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes interview with the author answering the most commonly asked questions about the trips.
