Publisher's Synopsis
Book 1 of the hilarious book series that those in the know will want to read on the train to work so they laugh so freaking hard that they scare away the other commuters allowing them to have two seats to themselves.
Life was not meant to be easy, Simon Yeats' father used to tell him. Well, it sure as hell was not meant to be this crazy and funny. Australian ex-pat Yeats, as all he has ever been called since High School, shares his stories of travel misadventures and dubious personal introspection with comedic insights into the unusual and uproarious elements of living his life abroad. All while having a sense of Wanderlust as pervasive as the Spanish Flu in 1918.
From how to keep yourself entertained when unwittingly forced to watch 11 hours of live sumo wrestling in Japan, to surviving heartbreak in India at the hands of a French flight attendant, to 48 hours spent in Nepal that qualify as the funniest most gut wrenching travel experience since Captain Bligh was set adrift in the Pacific, to his unsuccessful attempts at avoiding going to a brothel in Thailand. Simon Yeats has gone into the world and experienced all the out of the ordinary moments for readers to sit back and enjoy the experience without the need to pay for overpriced drinks in Bora Bora, break a leg trekking in the Dolomites, or rupture a pancreas diving on the Great Barrier Reef.
