Publisher Description
Featured on Good Morning America, the front page of Cosmopolitan.com, Travel + Leisure, POPSUGAR, Harper's Bazaar, Good Housekeeping, Redbook, HelloGiggles, Woman's Day, and Country Living.
After purchasing one-way flights from New York City to Paris, Kyle James and his girlfriend Ashley quit their day jobs, planned futures, and daily paradigms to see as much of the world as they could. In 114 days, they trekked across 15 countries and 38 cities with nothing but their backpacks, their smartphones, and each other. Not Afraid of the Fall is the unvarnished story of their off-the-cuff journey: from cliff-jumping off Croatia's untouched coasts, to bathing with rescued elephants in Thailand; from crashing mopeds on gravelly mountain roads in Santorini, to hitchhiking with strangers in rental cars in Hungary.
Part travel memoir, part love letter to those staring at the walls of a corporate cubicle, Not Afraid of the Fall is an inspiring book that captures the sweet mysteries of life on the road and an empowering narrative for anyone who has ever uttered the words "maybe next year."
Customer Reviews
Light and inspiring
Great book for those that live to dream on traveling. It felt as I was traveling with the couple. Thank you for this inspiring book but at the same time very real! Thank you for staying truthful blunt, wistful and for the stories shared.
Weak
This book is just lame. It’s like reading the diary of someone who has nothing to say. They travel on a budget and drink a lot. With lines like, “Even in countries where great beer cost less than two dollars or where I was able to legally pee in the street, I was still proud to be an American.” I wish I could get a refund.
