This book can save you $100’s, $1000’s or even your life!
This book is about the really important parts of backpacking that people rarely give a thought to; the things that can turn someone’s dream holiday into the trip from hell. This book is here to prevent you being robbed, ripped off, lost, stuck, sick, confused, scared or in trouble.
Pfft, I don’t need that - I’m an independent backpacker‼
Yeah, yeah, I know; you’re an independent backpacker and don’t need someone to tell you all this stuff. If I read the above I wouldn’t buy this book either.
Fortunately I’ve only included useful things learnt from experience. This is the stuff that I chatted about with travellers every night in hostels and finally decided it needed to be written down; to help everyone out. Covering over 70 topics, this book has it all; from the necessary such as choosing hostels and what to pack, to the fun, like getting free drinks and how to have the best night out, to the zany such as a mind-bending experience with the hallucinogenic Peruvian medicine, Ayahuasca.
Boring book full of information? Hell no it ain’t. It’s written in a light-hearted way and full of funny stories of when things have gone terribly wrong, or awesomely right. People have even emailed me to say they embarrassed themself on the bus from laughing too hard… though they are probably just easily amused.
I’ll say no more; just read the first chapter for free and decide for yourself. Just click on the book to start reading.
Warning: contains occasional coarse language.

Note, Amazon has different stores for different countries. If you’re in any country other than the USA you’ll need to go to your country’s specific Amazon site to buy. Annoying I know. To do it, just click on the link in the green box at the right hand side of the screen next to the book title.
Also note too, that if you don’t have a Kindle, you can get a free program from Amazon to read the book on your phone, tablet, computer, Mac, etc.
