Book 1 of Weird Travel

Don’t Go There

How much would you risk to change your life? Would you go where everyone else is trying to leave?

They shouldn’t have tear-gassed bestselling author Adam Fletcher. Now there’s something he wants to know. Something no-one is telling. To get the answer he must travel to some of the strangest places in the world: North Korea, Chernobyl, Transnistria, Liberland, and many more.

What starts as a humorous adventure will take over his life, threatening his sanity, safety, and relationship to his eccentric German girlfriend, Annett.

Why do they enter a Chinese blizzard armed with only a pack of biscuits? Why does a Croatian police boat chase him down the Danube? What does the Devil incarnate shout at him on a bus in Moldova? Can you change your life and world view through travel?

He’s getting close to the answer when, after a run-in with ants and Hare Krishnas, Annett quits. Now he’s alone, trying to decide if he should finally go home, and if he does, if anyone will be there waiting?

"Excellent travel memoir. Funny, easy to read and most enjoyable. Is it a Bill Bryson? Certainly along those lines, maybe a younger, trendier version."

Amazon UK Review
"A must read! This book is a true eye opener. Mr. Fletcher and his girlfriend travel to places that are not recommended for tourism to find out why. All are told with a lot of humor but are also well grounded in truth.

...Adam grows and evolves from an adventuresome guy to settling down to adulthood and responsibility, after his grand adventures. A truly good, highly recommended book for anyone who enjoys true non-fiction off the beaten path.

This author has a lot of humility and ability to laugh at himself. And he has very good reason to be laughed at, frankly. He and his descriptions make this book so funny.
