Don’t Go There


Book Description

How much would you risk to change your life? Would you go where everyone else is trying to leave? Bestselling author Adam Fletcher did… In this unusual, hilarious travel memoir, he visits ten of the strangest places on earth. There's something he wants to know. Something no-one is telling him. To find the answer 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. Packed full of interesting characters, unusual destinations, and British humour, this is an unforgettable journey with an award-winning travel writer that’s a mixture of Paul Theroux, Bill Bryson, and Douglas Adams. But this quest to understand the world (and himself) will also threaten his sanity, safety and relationship to his eccentric German girlfriend, Annett. Will he make it back safely? Will anyone be waiting when he does? What do you give the dictator that has everything? Discover the answer in Don’t Go There… The books in this series can be read in any order.
