Why Don't You Fly?

by Chris Smith

Chris Smith set out on his bike one day in May, reaching his final destination 13 months and 16,500-miles later. Leaving the cosy security of Worcestershire, he traversed scorching deserts, scaled lofty peaks, crossed mighty rivers and risked extinction in the chaotic traffic of the cities. He ate and drank in roadside cafés in the company of inquisitive lorry drivers and shared dormitories with farm hands and mosquitoes in remote Chinese villages.

He survived bugs, blizzards, cockroaches, heat, hurricanes, sandstorms, cyclones, stone-throwing locals and lunatic drivers. Sceptical western existentialism encountered religious fatalism in the cafés and teahouses of the Middle East and India during a physical and spiritual journey that constantly raised questions about attitudes and values widely taken for granted in the West.

Leavin' on a Jet Plane

by Stephen Power

Twenty-something Danny, fresh out of university, realises his dream of travelling the world - and getting paid for it. But his job as a bartender on a luxury cruise ship proves to be far from plain sailing. He struggles to fit in, he makes enemies as quickly as he makes friends and his limited knowledge of mixing cocktails is easily surpassed by his unlimited appetite for drinking them. A beautiful woman then slips into his life who makes things even more complicated...

A story that encompasses youth and all its associated baggage: friendships, finding a job, travelling, getting drunk and falling in love.

"A must read for young travellers".

OVERLANDING

by Tim English

The story of the ultimate road trip; the pages are packed with as much excitement, adventure and disaster as the journeys themselves.

From the Touareg settlements of the Sahara, through the Pygmy camps of the Congo, to the Indian villages of the Andes, Tim English and his various travelling companions travel the razor-edge of tourism by truck. Blossoming romances and simmering tensions shadow their progress, but as they navigate their way through some of the world's more intractable conflicts, Tim ponders how the injustice and determination they witness might just change the groups' lives forever.
A stirring reminder for those who have been there, a vital read for those who are thinking of following them, Overlanding balances high drama with low humour in prose that is sometimes shocking, always touching.
