Never Pack an Ice-Axe: Tales From a Travel Writer’s Life

You’d think a long-time travel writer would have some great travel tips. You’d think. Jules learns about travel the hard way, whether it’s setting out on his first European hitch-hiking adventure, writing about offbeat destinations for Rough Guides, or braving the shouty waiters of Naples on the hunt for the world’s best pizza.

Not everything goes according to plan - what happened in Bali stays in Bali - but during a life in travel, Jules has racked up enough useful tips to fill a book. Just not this book.

Hit the road with Jules - from Scotland to the South Pacific - and you’re guaranteed a great story, a good laugh and an occasional heartfelt sob. As long as you don’t listen to his advice, you’ll be absolutely fine.
