Hiya everyone,
If you are looking for something new to read, you might be interested in my popular new travel memoir. Here's a little of what to expect in the book:
Adventures and discovery meet misfortunes and despair from the sun-kissed beaches of Australia to the jungles and ancient wonders of Southeast Asia in this humorous travel memoir.
Newbie British backpacker, Amit, finally escapes the shackles of mundane everyday life but life’s not that simple! The scrapes and sticky situations he finds himself in would have normal people on the first flight home but Amit’s not normal and going back home to England is not an option, ever!
This collection of true travel stories unfolds an astonishing life-altering yet turbulent unplanned five-and-a-half-year journey. While incredible highs and jaw-dropping moments are experienced, Amit must overcome fears, conquer crippling anxieties and dodge mental and physical obstacles. A Lunatic pilot plunging him to certain death, being homeless in a fairy-tale town, and fights with wild primates on tropical paradise Islands, are just a few escapades Amit faces. So why does he continue? Just why can’t he return home to England? And what do the realities of long-term budget travel teach him?
If you dream of packing it all up to explore the world or love reading about travel adventures pick up your copy today to find out and lose yourself in Amit’s unpredictable world!
The memoir is available on Kindle and in paperback through Amazon (i don't want to add links as the post can be taken down as spam)
Adventure & discovery meet misfortunes & despair from the sun-kissed beaches of Australia to the ancient wanders & jungles of Southeast Asia! Oh, and the Monkeys!
This is no ordinary gap-year backpacking trip...
Led on by his rogue inner voices, British backpacker, Amit's first foray into budget travel is simply calamitous - Along with a combination of bad luck, a lack of belief, and funds, his new dream life crumbles. But a twist of fate changes Amit's life forever…Of course, it doesn't get any easier!
Life's sucker punches land knockout blows, and Amit gets into the stickiest situations, like being plunged to certain death by a lunatic pilot en route to a deserted Island, disaster while scaling active volcanoes, and face-offs with uncontrollable wild primates even when he's accompanied by his trusty travel companions.
So what drives Amit's insatiable hunger to explore the world? Why can't he ever return home to England or a normal life?

Dry rusty dirt kicked up from the ground. My limp had got worse and my injured foot dragged like a broken part hanging off the bottom of a car. Mobility had become an issue, the girls had floated away in front without much concern, however, She kept swiveling her head back just to make sure I was still in view.
Every movement from either side of the foliage prompted my eyes to turn into sniper scopes, looking through the dense covering of palms and vines, but there was nothing was in sight, jungle animals were the masters of disguise.
The rusty dirt ground disappeared and turned into flattened overgrowth—I was certain the jungle’s inhabitants probably had eyes on me. However, away from the buzzes, zips, crickets, and croaks, another sound started to demand my attention. It was hidden from view, but everybody knew what it was. The girls let their ears lead the way as I trudged behind almost managing a smile. My inner child wanted to burst through the adult suit but was physically incapable at this point.
“Can you hear that, Amit?....

Hiya everyone, I'm very excited to announce my new travel memoir 'Backpacker to Nomad'
This book is a collection of adventures, misadventures, and important moments from the first five years of my accidental nomadic life! Why was it accidental, well because it was only meant to be a 1-year backpacking trip to Australia but through circumstances, situations, and luck (good and bad) this journey which started in 2010 just didn't stop. Only Covid put a pause on it for a couple of years. The book dives into my mentality changes over the years, my renegade inner voices, and why I can't return to normal life.
If you love escaping to countries far and wide for adventure, discovery, and despair this is a book you will love jumping into :D

Finally, solo traveling
With the knife dug in and twisted, pain screamed from my wallet as I reluctantly paid the bill and it was back into the herd of coffee addicts while pigeons went to town on the mess I left behind. The easiest option was to follow the flow of the hordes of locals and camera-clad tourists through one laneway to the other. Some became extremely tight, where it turned into a single file, while others widened.
The hole-in-the-wall cafés became fewer and further between and were replaced by an explosion of vibrant color. Every inch of concrete was hidden behind layers of street art and graffiti. Most of the amazing work looked like it belonged in a gallery, produced by extremely talented artists with such vivid imaginations. It definitely didn’t look like the crappy tags and amateur graffiti on walls back in my hometown.
As the cafés disappeared into the distance, so did the clanging of mugs, plates, and glasses. Coffee machine hisses turned into melodic soft music as buskers strummed their guitars and softly sang out—some better than others. A mellowness drifted through the air, it was hard not to be captivated by it while drifting through the graffiti-covered spaghetti maze. Cameras clicked relentlessly, capturing the amazing and vivid artwork, from bamboozling patterns to lifelike portraits of famous celebrities to cartoon characters.

A sneak peek book excerpt from the first travel story in the book: Plans? Sure, they work!
-----
The rustles coming from the thick foliage beneath the iron spiked fence would normally have scared the living daylights of me. However, tonight, the potential of snakes, giant spiders, lizards, baby dinosaurs, and who-knows-what-else lurking didn’t matter. All that mattered was that my feet were firmly on the concrete ledge with my hands gripped tight around the fence’s rusty spikes. My ear-to-ear smile was evidence that he came through—it was the perfect spot.
Anticipation, which had grown throughout the day, was reaching the climax, so much so the electric energy buzzing through the air almost felt physical. The source emanated from the dome of lights and noise around Sydney Harbour way down in the distance...
