Around Asia With a Pot of Nail Varnish

The true story of one woman's year long adventure of what it feels like to set off around Asia by yourself. In your forties. Without savings. With no idea of an itinerary. Not so much a how to travel guide, but rather how-did-I-get-here? book. This story is filled with amusing tales of a travellers life in the most basic areas of South East Asia and getting around it by the cheapest means possible. Find out how I dealt with cheating taxi drivers in Cambodia, what I did when I lost all my worldly possessions in a Bangkok gay club; what happened when I hired a gigolo for £1 per day in the Phillipines, my near miss with a six foot Monitor lizard on a beach in Malaysia and how my pot of nail varnish nearly destroyed someones love life! If you have ever back packed, flash packed or have the desire to do either, this book will inspire you to get your rucksack out and start planning the next trip. Just don't forget the nail varnish!
