Is getting there really half the fun? The 26 real-life stories in
this extraordinary collection explore the complexities, delights and
insights of surface travel, from walking to pedal boating, from camels
to cargo ships and anything from two to four wheels? or no wheels at
all.
Ever wondered just how far a tuk-tuk can take you? Who do you call
when the ice cracks as you?re walking across the Bering Straits? Do you
know how long it takes to rollerblade across the US? Ever considered
riding a pizza-delivery bike through South America?
Some of these writers explore a single destination, be it Oman,
Japan or Italy, while others cross whole continents or circumnavigate
the world.
This inspiring and eclectic anthology includes contributions
from well-known travel writers such as Tony Wheeler and Rory Stewart,
environmentally responsible travel-bloggers, some favourite Lonely
Planet authors and record-setting expeditioners.
So sit back, relax and
let your imagination do the flying.
