Don't Go There
Don't Go There: From Chernobyl to North Korea--One Man's Quest to Lose Himself and Find Everyone Else in the World's Strangest Places | Adam Fletcher
6 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
How much would you risk to change your life? After Spiegel bestselling-author Adam Fletcher is accidentally tear-gassed in street protests in Istanbul, he goes on a journey to change his humdrum life, taking his eccentric German girlfriend, Annett, along with him. Their quest to better understand themselves (and everyone else) threatens their world view, sanity, and relationship.Don't Go There is a hilarious travelogue full of interesting characters, uncomfortable moments, unusual destinations, and British humour that will appeal to lovers of Bill Bryson, Douglas Adams, and David Sedaris.Whether freezing in a blizzard in China, ruining a mass dance in North Korea, experiencing the corruption of Soviet-breakaway Transnistria, pondering the apocalypse in Chernobyl, getting stopped by police boats on the way to the newest country in the world (libertarian utopia Liberland), or meeting the devil incarnate on a night bus in Moldova, Adam keeps his sense of humour and his fascination for the weird things people do to each other when they think no one is looking, in the places few of us ever go.Take a trip with Adam Fletcher today, visa and mosquito free. You won't regret it.

“Come on, it'll be fun, and it'll get you out of the house.“

Why is being in the house always considered a bad thing? Houses are a comfort zone of Internet, sofas, cushions, toast. They're really an embarrassment of riches in a cruel, indifferent, and largely toast-less world.

A witty account of travel to some unique spots that won‘t be on many people‘s bucket lists. I like travel a lot and like visiting unusual places so this was a hit with me. Read if that‘s a bit of you too.

3.Cereal like Lucky Charms or Raisin Bran, lactose free milk
4.Central (U.S)
5.Navy Gnomes

A negative Nelly of a British bloke attempts to escape the rut his life had become by being miserable in more exotic locations. Complains constantly.
